What can be done for a 7 lbs Maltese named Tilly, aged 14 years, who has been experiencing stomach pain for 2 weeks, has not eaten in over a week, and is currently gasping for air and crying out? The vet prescribed 22.7 mg enrofloxan and 40 mg sucralfate for a stomach ulcer, but the symptoms have not improved.

My dog ate 0.2 oz of a brownie I dropped on the ground. The dog weighs 37 lbs, is 6 years old, and has not vomited since eating the brownie. The dog is acting normal. Should I be concerned, and is there anything else I should know or do?

My dog, Sasha, an 11 lb Maltese around 8-9 years old, ate a piece of gristle from a pork rib bone on Saturday and has been trying to cough it up since. She has not eaten but only drinks water and urinates, with one bowel movement since then. She is also sleeping a lot and making guttural choking sounds, but is not in pain. Should I take her to an emergency vet?

My two boxers, Meeka (7 years old, 42 lbs) and Mojo (2 years old, 63 lbs), just ate about 12 York peppermint patties wrappers between them. What should I do for them, or should I just wait for them to digest it?
