My dog, Maximo, a 3-year-old Maltese Shih Tzu, has been very uncomfortable when he lays down since last night. He is twitching and moving his head continuously while trying to find a comfortable spot, which prevents him from sleeping. He was prescribed gabapentin and Galliprant, but they don't seem to be helping. What could be causing this discomfort, and what should I look out for or do next?

My dog, Cona, a 4-year-old 12-pound dog, ate half of a 1.45 oz (41g) dark chocolate bar while I was gone. He has not vomited and is generally healthy, except for a past bout of pancreatitis. What should I do and is there any risk of chocolate toxicity?

My dog had the distemper vaccine today, but she was on antibiotics (clavamox chewable and enrofloxacin) until recently. Now she has diarrhea, won't settle, and seems uncomfortable. Should I be concerned?

My dog, Didi, a 3-year-old, has an anal abscess that burst after applying a warm compress. I want to know how to treat it at home and whether I should use a warm compress, analgesic cream, or antibiotics, and if I should bandage the wound or not.

I suspect my two black labs, Archie (9 years old) and Lulu (3 years old), both weighing around 75 pounds, might have eaten some moth balls approximately 18 hours ago. They are currently acting completely normal with no signs of vomiting, diarrhea, or lethargy. When should I expect to see symptoms if they did ingest the moth balls?

My 15 lb dog, Stella, might have swallowed a Losartan potassium 50 mg pill that I dropped on the floor. This happened about 5 minutes ago, and she hasn't vomited or shown any reaction. Stella is 14 years old and in good health overall, with a history of IVDD and two past surgeries. Is this dangerous, and what should I do?
