My dog, Koda, an 8-year-old 25-pound Shih Tzu, was found chewing on a plastic gum container containing about 20-27 pieces of xylitol-containing gum (Ice Breakers Cubed). The incident occurred about 20-30 minutes ago, and he hasn't vomited yet. What should we do?

My dog is sick. She has a bad honking cough and isn't eating much. She went to get her hair cut on Friday and started coughing this morning. What should I do?

My dog, Lucy, a 12-year-old dachshund, is limping and has a red and swollen back leg. She has been scratching and licking the area, and is very reluctant to walk. She was prescribed gabapentin until she can see her vet. What could be causing this, and what should I do in the meantime?
