My dog, Lucy, had ear surgery 1 week ago for hematoma. She is now having dark bloody drainage from the incision, crusting around her ear, and seems uncomfortable, shaking/shivering at times. She is on amoxicillin and Prednisone, which we are weaning. What can I do for her discomfort while her vet is unavailable?

My Yorkie, Sage, hasn't eaten in 3 days, has had diarrhea, and is occasionally vomiting greenish/yellow bile. She has very little energy and mostly rests/sleeps. We've tried feeding her rice with chicken broth, but she's not eating. What recommendations can you provide to help Sage?

My Cairn Terrier, Lala, who is about 15 lbs and possibly 10 years old, ate approximately one square of 100% chocolate while I was away for about an hour. She has not vomited yet and already has a heart murmur. What should I do?

My dog, Oliver, a 10-year-old long-haired wiener dog, has had diarrhea and vomiting for almost 3 days. The vomit is liquidy and clear, with no food in it. He ate a paper tag from clothing and possibly a small piece of foil. He lives with two senior cats and is the only one who goes out for walks. My girlfriend mixes ground turkey with his dry kibble food, which stays in the fridge for 5-7 days after cooking. What could be causing his symptoms and what should I do?

Do I need to do anything in particular if my dog has eaten chocolate? My dog, June, is a 64-pound rescue boxer who ate 8.1 ounces (230 grams) of milk chocolate candies with pecans. She vomited once before eating the chocolate but has not vomited since. She is currently acting normally.

My dog, a 10-year-old Yorkie, has a swollen area under her eye that feels hard and has caused her to squint for a few weeks. Her eye is also watery, and she seems uncomfortable. What could be causing this swelling, and what should I do?
