My dog was diagnosed with two mast cell tumors, one on his paw and one on his lip, and has mystery lumps under the skin. He seems nauseated and hasn't eaten much. Should he be seen by a vet sooner for the tumors, and what medications should he be on until the scheduled surgery?

My dog, Gracie, who is almost 13 years old, has been grunting, breathing fast, and restless for the past hour. She recently had 25 mg of Benadryl for itching. She is drinking, peeing, and pooing normally, but seems restless and her belly is distended. Could this be related to the Benadryl or something else?

I am looking for an internist for my dog, Calvin, who has elevated WBCs, neutrophils, lymphocytes, and a high reticulocyte count. He was treated with antibiotics for 7 days but his lab results remained the same. He shows no symptoms of illness and is active, eating, and drinking normally. I am concerned about possible leukemia or other serious conditions. What should I do next?

My dog, Eevee, a 17.4 lb corgi, accidentally ingested less than a 1/4 tsp of dark chocolate fudge coconut butter. She is 18 months old and is currently showing no signs of distress or abnormal behavior. Should I be concerned about chocolate toxicity, and is there anything specific I should monitor or do?

I accidentally gave my 85lb 6-year-old dog, Gus, 1.5 pills of amoxicillin (500mg each) this morning and 1.5 pills tonight. I mixed up the meds by accident. Gus doesn't seem to be in pain and seems fine. Should I be concerned about the dosage, and should I continue giving him his metronidazole?
