My dog licked a small amount of xylitol-containing toothpaste (less than a pea-sized amount) about 17 hours ago. He is a 12 lb, 5-year-old dog named Guinness. He has shown no side effects so far. What should I be monitoring for, and is there any immediate action I should take?

My puppy, Luna, swallowed bacitracin cream and has been laying down all day with a little appetite. She is 14 pounds and has a heart rate of 94. She threw up once since eating the cream. What should I do?

Does this tooth warrant vet service or should I try to pull it myself?

My 10-year-old dog, Diva, is scratching at her mouth, running a fever, and has swelling around the front of her mouth. She won't let me look in her mouth and snaps at me. Can I give her a baby aspirin for the fever until I can take her to the vet in the morning?

My dog, Max, a 5-year-old male, has been excessively licking his penis area for the past 2-3 days, leading to a buildup of smegma. There is some redness and swelling around the penis opening, but no unusual smell. He has full energy and is urinating normally. What could be causing this and how should I treat it?

My dog, Franklin, had a neuter surgery 4 days ago. His scrotum is black, which was noticeable immediately after the surgery. He is not licking or chewing at the area, and he is not in pain. Everything else with him is normal—energy, eating, etc. Should I be concerned about the black scrotum, and what should I monitor for?
