My dog, London, a 2-year-old Shih Tzu Poodle mix weighing 13 pounds, bit into a 15 mg Phentermine (an amphetamine) pill but spat it out right away. It has been about 15 minutes since the incident, and he has not vomited or shown any behavioral changes. Should I be concerned, and is there anything else the vet should know?

My dog has been chewing her paws, and I’ve been making sure to wipe them when we come inside, and I’ve been giving her allergy medicine. But when I got home from work today, I noticed her little toe pads were very raw and almost bleeding, and it looks like it’s from her chewing. I feel so bad because I know she’s uncomfortable. Help!

Our two German Shepherds got into a package of fun size Milky Ways. Six of them. We don’t know if it was just one or both of the dogs, so we don’t know if they shared them or if just one dog ate them. What should we do?

Our little mini dachshund ate half a chalk pastel made by Prismacolor. The site says it's non-toxic. Should we be worried? The dog, Niko, is 1 year and 10 months old, weighs 22-24 lbs, and it has been about 30-44 minutes since he ate the pastel with no vomiting.

My Staffy is feeling unwell. She had foam around her mouth yesterday afternoon after a lot of activity, and now she is very subdued with short, quick breaths. She vomited mucus once yesterday evening after swimming in a dam and fetching sticks. What should I do?
