My 13-year-old labradoodle had a calcium level of 13.2 on a recent standard blood panel. Our vet wants to run a calcium-specific test at a cost of $292. What could this tell us, and what could we do for our dog? She has bad hips and CCLs, is happy, and is managing fine with pain control. Should we find out if she has cancer, which we wouldn’t treat, or if she has a parathyroid issue? We love our dog but don’t want her to suffer with treatments.

My dog, Lincoln, a 21-pound Bichon Frise, might have swallowed a Nyquil pill. I don't know his exact weight but he's 2 years old. This just happened about 10 minutes ago, and he hasn't thrown up and seems alright for now. What should I do?

My Rottweiler puppy, Yogi, drank some soapy water. He's 5 months old, about 50 pounds, and we don't think he ingested much. He's been a little slower, had some foam around his mouth, but ate his dinner and rinsed his mouth. He hasn't vomited. What should I do to ensure he's okay?

My dog, Eevee, a 2-year-old weighing around 5lbs, ate what we initially thought was a 500mg acetaminophen pill 5 minutes ago. We later realized it might be a small red candy from a gingerbread house. Should we induce vomiting and what precautions should we take?

A 12-week-old pug puppy named Jim ate more than a dozen orange tic tacs and has since vomited, had trouble walking, and is shaking when awake. Additionally, Jim is now having trouble standing without wobbling, has a bobble head, quick bursts to get anywhere, and is lethargic. What could be causing these symptoms and what should be done?
