My dog, Watson, a 20 lbs Cavapoo who just turned 8, ate one or two white chocolate truffles and has been panting heavily for over an hour. He has a history of a bulging disc and is on gabapentin and Prednisone. Should I be concerned about the chocolate, and what should I do?

My dog, Luisa, a 5-year-old Golden Retriever, has a swelling on her left cheek about the size of a small potato cut in half. She snorts weirdly when we touch it, but she doesn't seem to be in pain or distressed, still runs and jumps around, and eats and drinks well. What could be causing the swelling, and what should I do?

My dog, Otto, is a 3-year-old German Shorthair and recently had red-colored urine while snowshoeing. He seems fine with normal energy and appetite. What could be causing this and what should I do?

My dog ate 1.5oz of milk chocolate. Not sure how long ago. No visible signs of illness but wondering what I can do to make sure she’s OK. The dog weighs approximately 65 lbs and is a 5-year-old Shepherd mix named Piper. She is currently playful and running around without any signs of distress. She is on monthly Trifexis for flea control and has no other medical issues.

My puppy, Murphy, was bitten by my sister's dog today. The bite caused a small laceration in his mouth near his back left tooth, and it is still bleeding slightly. My sister's dog is up to date on shots. Should we take him to an emergency 24-hour vet, or should we wait until tomorrow and go to a normal vet? The puppy is acting normally, still chewing and walking around.
