My dog, Oakley, a 3-year-old 60lb dog, ate a Costco-sized blueberry muffin wrapped in a 20 x 10 inch piece of Saran Wrap about 10-15 minutes ago. She has not vomited yet. Should I be concerned about the Saran Wrap causing any issues, such as gastrointestinal problems or choking hazards, and should I stay home to monitor her?

My 10-year-old Beagle, Chevy, has vomited twice in the past couple of hours. The first time was chunky and all food, the second time was liquidy with grass. Since then, he has been shaking and panting. He is walking and moving around normally but is panting excessively. He doesn't seem to be in pain when his belly is pressed, but there is a gassy smell and he made a slight moaning sound. His gums are pink, and he hasn't eaten anything unusual. He weighs about 33 lbs and is not on any medications. What should I do?

My dog, Ellamay, a 4-year-old, recently had shots for rabies, parvo, and distemper, and then developed diarrhea in a liquified, mushy form. I suspect it might be a reaction to the shots. What could be causing this and what steps should I take to help her recover?
