My dog, Willow, a 3-year-old miniature dachshund weighing 10 lbs, has been lethargic, shaking her head, and showing glazed, squinty eyes for the last hour. She wasn't very eager to eat dinner about 3 hours ago. She might have eaten something unusual, like an avocado or something left behind by my niece. What could be causing these symptoms and what should I do?

My dog, Cosmo, a 2-year-old, 27-pound dog, might have ingested part of a chewed-up rubbery plastic toy. I found the toy in his crate, torn into small pieces smaller than a dime. He hasn't vomited and is eating and drinking normally, but hasn't pooped since around 3pm when I believe he chewed up the toy. What should I do to ensure he passes any ingested pieces safely?

My 105 lbs dog, Nahla, licked spilled coffee grounds (unused—bag spilled). It’s been 2 1/2 hours and she is lying on the couch without symptoms. Has she thrown up since licking the coffee? What else should the vet know before I connect with them?
