My dog, a 3-year-old Australian Shepherd mix weighing 40lbs, ate 5oz of Mexican hot chocolate while I was away. I'm concerned about the potential toxicity, especially since I can't determine the exact cacao percentage. What should I do?

I just noticed a tick on my puppy. I removed it with tweezers and noticed the head was still attached and believe I was able to remove most of that as well. She is vaccinated against Lyme disease and just received her tick prevention today. Are there any other steps I should take?

My 4-year-old, 60lb medium-sized dog had vomiting and diarrhea last night, with yellowish and foamy vomit. He was lethargic and seemed out of it but is back to normal today. There was dark blood in his stool, and he hasn't pooped today. What could be the cause, and what should I do?

My 13-year-old dachshund, Dash, has been experiencing stomach pain, a hard stomach, and difficulty eating for about 2 weeks. He has also had difficulty with bowel movements. I added boiled rice, egg, and raw meat to his diet to encourage eating. What could be causing his discomfort, and is there anything I can do to ease his discomfort until I take him to the vet?

My dog, Abby, a 7-year-old mixed breed (Border Collie and miniature poodle with other breeds), has had watery diarrhea with blood drops tonight. She ate yesterday but hasn't eaten since and has had water 4 hours ago. She hasn't vomited. We've been traveling by car for 3 days, and she had a grooming session a few days ago. What could be causing this, and what should I do?
