My dog, Piper, a 5-year-old weighing about 55-60lbs, ingested a small box of mixed Christmas chocolates (likely a mix of milk and dark) about 40 minutes ago.

My 10-year-old cocker spaniel, Honey, has briny black specks on her skin that resemble roach droppings. They are not flea eggs as they aren't hatching and turning into fleas.
