My female chocolate lab, Coco, ingested a slow-release fertilizer tablet (20-10-5 all-purpose plant food) at approximately 2:00pm today and regurgitated it at approximately 4:30pm. She ate her dinner (5pm) prior to me seeing the mess. She is sleeping comfortably and was normal all evening. Coco is 7 years old, weighs 55 lbs, and has a history of a collapsed lung, but this does not impair her activity. Will she be okay to digest the fertilizer?

My dog ate a small piece of cob. She seems completely normal, so I don’t know if I should take her to the emergency vet or if I should wait?

My dog, Ziggy, a 9-month-old miniature pinscher cross, is lifting his hind leg off the ground when standing but appears to be walking normally. This behavior has been on and off for a few weeks, and Ziggy recently had orthopedic surgery on his front leg due to a break two months ago. What could be causing this issue, and what should I look out for or do?

My dog, Lilly, a 10-year-old Boston terrier, has been experiencing light vomiting with red, swollen eyes and light shaking, but she feels warm to the touch and is not moving around a lot. The vomit is liquidy with chunks of food, and she is a garbage diver who often eats unusual things. She has a healthy history but has never had health issues before. What could be causing her symptoms, and what should I do?

My Golden Retriever, Lola, ate 5 green grapes about an hour ago. She weighs 80 pounds and has not thrown up since. What should I do to ensure she is safe and prevent any potential toxicity?
