My dog, Joey, a 2-year-old, 40-pound dog, ate an entire chapstick two days ago and has been struggling to use the bathroom since. The chapstick ingredients are Beeswax, microcrystalline wax, ozokerite wax, petroleum oil, Shea butter, patrolium, polisobutylene, mathyparipen, propyparaben, and tocopherol acetate. He might have also ingested a small amount of plastic from chewing the container. What should I do?

My 31 lb French bulldog ate 4 grapes. I know they can be poisonous, but my husband didn't. Should I wait and see, call the vet in the morning, or go to urgent care?

My 4-year-old Pitbull, Bambi, has been itching and chewing her skin intensely for almost two weeks. Her skin is bright red, and I've been giving her Benadryl, but it's not helping. What could be causing this and what should I do?

My dog ate a roach bait. She weighs 24 pounds and is 3 years old. I put her in a kennel, and I have been gone for 5 hours. The roach bait was a little square black one, not new, and used. What should I do?

My 16.2 lb, 14-year-old Jack Russell Terrier named Babylon has had stomach issues lately, including runny stools. I gave her 6 ml of Pepto Bismol yesterday, and she feels better and is eating well, but she hasn't had a bowel movement since. Can I safely give her milk of magnesia?
