My dog suddenly started screaming in pain while trying to get up, is now shivering and walking gingerly. He followed me to the kitchen for a treat but is now laying in his bed looking uncomfortable. He's a 4-year-old pitbull mastiff mix, approximately 70 lbs, and this is the first time he's had an episode like this. He's been eating and drinking normally, with no vomiting or diarrhea, and is urinating normally. He also frequently jumps on and off a high bed. What could be causing this sudden pain, and what should I do?

My dog, Monty, a 2.5-year-old 15-pound dog, may have eaten part of a chocolate cupcake within the last half hour. I'm not sure if he actually ate it, but there were remnants on his face. What should I do and what signs of chocolate toxicity should I monitor for?

My dog has PTSD from recent fireworks and is experiencing panic fear with small sounds. Is Children's Benadryl safe for dogs, and are there any natural remedies to help with his severe anxiety?

My 8-year-old labrador, Cooper, has been constantly scratching for the past 3 days, especially on his underside and hind quarters. We've tried anti-itch shampoos, hot spot sprays, children's Benadryl, and calming chews, but he's still scratching all night. What else can we do to help him?

My dog, Brownie, ate a Delta 8 gummy and is acting funny. She is 50 pounds, ate one gummy, and is 11 years old. She has not vomited but has been peeing and occasionally jerking. What should I do and what should I watch for?

One of my dogs ate a chocolate cake containing cocoa processed with alkali. It was a pre-made mix from Betty Crocker. Neither of my dogs have shown any abnormal signs/symptoms. They are both approximately 50 lbs, one is about 4 years old, and the other is 7 years old. Should I do something at this point or just monitor them? I assume it was eaten between 7:30-8:30 AM.
