My dog, Lucky, a 13-year-old mix of beagle and dalmatian, is having difficulty keeping his head up. He had a severe fall years ago that caused a pinched nerve but fully recovered. Recently, he has been trembling and his hind legs seem weaker. He had an anti-inflammatory medication a year ago. What could be causing this and what should I do?

My dog, Sweetie, a heeler/hound mix, vomited three times in the past 24 hours, with the last instance showing a reddish tinge and smaller specks like clotted blood. She has been lethargic since 5pm CST and has eaten new chews recently. What could be causing this and what should I do?

My 11lb Chinese Crested dog ate a 6.36oz (180g) Tony's Chocolonely white chocolate bar with 28% cocoa solids. She has vomited dark bile with small pieces of foil and yellow stomach bile in the past hour. She is eating her meals and acting normal. How serious is this cocoa content even after a day and a half after ingestion?

My 1-year-old 70-pound pitbull, Lucifer, ate a whole bottle of 20 regular-strength 600mg ibuprofen tablets about 3 hours ago. He hasn't thrown up since, and I also believe he ate my nightmare medication, but I don't know what it was called as the bottle is destroyed. What should I do?

My dog, Toby, an 8 1/2-year-old Basset, has a respiratory infection and was given a shot of gentamicin, cough tabs, and amoxicillin. He has no appetite, is lethargic, and is throwing up water. His breathing is quick, and he hasn't eaten, urinated, or had a bowel movement in over 24 hours. What should I do?

My 3-month-old puppy, Mufasa, started shaking badly in his sleep, became lethargic and weak with no muscle control, and is hard to keep awake. He vomited about 15 minutes ago. We live around farms and dairy. Could he have eaten something unusual? What else should the vet know?
