My dog picked up a piece of gum outside and chewed on it, but I got it out of her mouth before she swallowed any. I don't know if the gum contains xylitol. The dog is about nine pounds and this happened approximately five minutes ago. Her name is Pumpkin and she is about 11 months old. Should I be concerned about any potential harm from the gum?

The gum would not cause any harm since your dog did not swallow it. Even if the gum contained xylito...

My dog, Kane, a 3-year-old weighing 25-30 pounds, ate a pack of gum containing xylitol within the last hour. He hasn't vomited yet and is not acting differently. What should I do?

My 4-month-old, 5-pound puppy named Bean ate some lily pedals and possibly licked lily pollen, and now she screams when she moves. She also might have gotten into a dead bird. She hasn't vomited or pooped since yesterday, and now she seems lethargic and only wants to sleep. What should I do to help her until I can take her to a vet?

My pitbull/lab mix, Lilly, is frothing, panting, exhausted, bloating, and has diarrhea. She's eating more often but hasn't eaten anything unusual. She's about a year old. How long will it take to get help and what should I do in the meantime?

My 10 lb Chiweenie named Buddy, who is 10 years old and in excellent health, ate 3 Quantum Energy Squares 3 hours ago. He has since thrown up mostly clear syrupy fluid and seems a little bloated but otherwise okay. What should I do?

We just got a 9-week-old purebred Golden Retriever named Kenly from a reputable breeder. She explored the yard and house, ate, drank, and used the restroom. About 15-20 minutes after resting, we noticed she was breathing rapidly at about 60 breaths per minute. Should we be concerned, and what could be causing this?
