My dog may have licked a little bit of water for chickens that contains chlortetracycline and dietary supplements. How long ago did this happen, and has there been any change in her behavior, eating, drinking, defecating, or urinating since then?

My 13-year-old dog, Crosby, has been lethargic, not eating, throwing up, but still having solid poops for a week. She ate a little chicken last night but threw it up this morning. She is not in pain, is spayed, and has no other medical problems or medications. We've been in Denver for almost two weeks, so I'm not sure if the elevation has an effect. What could be causing this and what should I do?

My dog, Sandi, a 50-pound Charpai Lab mix, has swelling on both sides of her mouth, was excessively licking her paws and scratching, causing her face to bleed. I gave her a 50 mg Benadryl tablet last night. What could be causing this and what should I do next?

My 9-year-old golden retriever, Luna, has vomited five times in the last couple of hours after being on the beach. The vomit is foamy and yellow. She has never done this before. What could be the cause and what should I do?

My dog's eye is swelling, which has happened before. I have an appointment on Monday morning but cannot afford an emergency vet visit now. What can I do to help my dog until then, and can I give him penicillin?
