My dog, Robbin, is vomiting every 5 minutes. The vomit started with food, then became liquidy, and now foamy. She is not keeping any water down, her gums are pale pink and moist, and she is tense on her belly but does not seem to be in more discomfort when pressed. She is hiding and getting upset, which is unusual for her. Could the dog have eaten anything unusual, and what should I do?

My 52-pound Labrador retriever got hold of a bottle of doxycycline prescribed for her kennel cough and may have eaten up to 12 100 mg pills. I was supposed to give her 2.5 pills per day. Is this an emergency, and what side effects should I watch for?

My dog, a 7.5-year-old Golden Retriever weighing 36 kg, ate about 100 g of Blood and Bone fertilizer 30 minutes ago. He has not vomited yet. What should I do to make him vomit, and how long should I observe him for any symptoms?

I have a 15-pound mix terrier named Boo, who was diagnosed with Rocky Mountain Fever (RMF) and has been on a 6-week course of antibiotics. After completing the initial course, he still showed signs of lethargy and a high temperature, so the vet prescribed another 6 weeks of antibiotics. Additionally, he was given a 6-day course of steroids. Does this extended treatment seem excessive or normal, and should I be concerned about potential side effects on his organs?

My dog, RJ, was bitten by a bigger dog and has a deep cut on his right leg. He is breathing heavily and shaking. The cut is about 2 inches long and 1 inch deep. He has been breathing heavily since the bite, but there is no cough. What should I do for his wound and his heavy breathing?
