My dog ingested an oxygen absorber more than 24 hours ago and has dark black liquid diarrhea and passed the packet. The dog is a 40 lbs, 2-year-old named Banksy who ingested the whole packet. The packet, called OxyFree, contains 70% iron, 20% calcium hydroxide, and 10% sodium chloride. The dog has not vomited and is otherwise acting normal, playing, and has good energy, but seems to have an upset stomach. What should I do?

My dog, Lou, a 7-year-old 62 lbs dog, got into a bag of dark chocolate covered pretzels. The bag was about 3/4 full of 18oz total, which includes the pretzels. It's been about 2-3 hours since she ate them. She is acting normally and has eaten her dog food and drank water since we found the empty bag. Should I induce vomiting, take her to the vet, or is she safe to watch?

Our dog, Max, a 3-year-old weighing 15 pounds, may have eaten a piece of milk chocolate. We gave him hydrogen peroxide to induce vomiting about an hour after the possible ingestion, but he hasn't vomited yet. What should we do next, and is there any risk from the hydrogen peroxide?
