My dog, Lana, a 65-pound, almost 3-year-old dog, broke a tiki torch and got tiki fuel (made with citronella and cedar oil) on her back and back legs, which she licked off. She was running around, panting, and smelled like turpentine. I washed her foot with warm water and soap, then gave her a full bath with dog shampoo. She is now calm, sleeping, and acting normal. What should I do next, and is there anything else the vet should know?

My 15-year-old female Westie, Katy, weighing 19 pounds, ate approximately 6 chocolate-flavored Tootsie Pops. The ingredients include sugar, corn syrup, partially hydrogenated soybean oil, citric acid, condensed skim milk, cocoa, whey, artificial and natural flavors, soy lecithin, and artificial colors. What are the potential risks and should I induce vomiting?

My dog, Trooper, has had ear issues for about a week. I've been treating him with Animax ointment, which has been effective, but I'm running out. I want to know if I can get a prescription for more Animax and if there are any other steps I should take to ensure his ear and skin health.

My two-year-old German Shepherd is constantly scratching, takes Advantix regularly, and does not have fleas or ticks. Is there an OTC allergy medicine I could try for him as I cannot get an appointment with his veterinarian for over a month? Additionally, what are the current recommendations for neutering large breed dogs, and are there long-term health benefits associated with neutering?

My dog, Snowball, has been shaking and crying since last night. He is also trying to pass stools but nothing is coming out. He is still urinating and eating and drinking normally. What should I do?
