My dog, Zeus, started flinching, losing balance, and circling less than 10 minutes ago while we were in bed. He is able to drink water and respond to my calls, but his breathing has become heavier when scared. He is in a new environment and is eating less due to travel. What could be causing this behavior and what should I do?

My small dog, Charlotte, ate a small amount of a homemade chocolate fudge-like bar. She is 6 years old and weighs 15 lbs. What should I do to ensure she is safe, and is it necessary to induce vomiting?

My dog, Ginger, a 25-pound Dachshund, has mastitis. She had a nodule removed a year ago and has had mastitis before. She is currently on a turmeric hot compress and has been given half of a 100 mg cefpodoxime tablet. The vets are closed until tomorrow. What should I do to manage her condition until I can get her to a vet?

My dog ate a whole 4oz bar of 77% dark chocolate. He is about 45-50lbs and 6 years old. He has not shown any signs of distress so far, but it happened within the last 30 minutes. He is on a special diet due to a chicken allergy and is not on any medications. What should I do?

My 12-pound, 1.5-year-old dog, Archer, ate 2 small pieces of steak with small pieces of garlic about 15 minutes ago. The dog seems fine but I am concerned about the garlic's toxicity. Should I take him to the vet?

My little dog, Wyatt (age 4), is shaking like he’s shivering and whining. He’s also panting and drooling. We noticed this behavior about 45 minutes ago. His gums are red and black, and he has a lot of spit in his mouth. My husband found a small bug on the tip of his tongue, which might have stung him. He weighs 17.5 lbs and hasn't vomited yet. What should we do?
