My dog, Rosco, age 4, is throwing up and drooling excessively. The vomit contains both liquid and foam, along with food, grass, and a leaf. I believe he may have eaten something unusual, but I didn't catch it in time. What should I do to help him recover?

Our one-year-old labradoodle, Luna, chewed the battery cage of a small torch containing two AAA lead acid batteries. The batteries were chewed but not swallowed. Luna weighs 20kg and showed no symptoms after the incident, which occurred this morning around 8:00 AM. The battery casing indicates no mercury and no cadmium, but there is a symbol indicating lead. We rinsed her mouth out with water and gave her some natural yogurt. Should we feed her something to neutralize any potential negative impacts?

We are having a problem getting rid of ear mites in our 6-year-old Mastiff named Gunner. He has been treated for weeks with various ear mite treatments, including Pet Armor and Hartz Ultraguard, and is currently using Zymox ear cleaners and enzymatic ear solution. He has a dark brown, thick discharge in his ears and is shaking them, but no vomiting or blood in stool. What could be the issue and what should we do next?

I have a Bravecto dose for a dog that passed away, intended for 88-123 lbs. I have a dog that is 60-70 lbs and she desperately needs it. Can I give this to her or cut it into 3/4? She has fleas and ticks, and I gave her an OTC topical a couple of weeks ago that didn't work.

My dog had a litter of puppies that are 4 weeks old. I just learned that I should have started deworming them at 2 weeks. What is the correct protocol for deworming 4-week-old puppies, and what are good dewormers for them?
