My miniature dachshund has been exhibiting involuntary rear end wiggles and twitches, and last night he reacted with trembling when I touched his left hip. He has a history of back leg injury and has been fine walking and jumping, but I'm concerned about these new symptoms. Could these twitches be due to physical discomfort or a neurological issue, and should I be worried about his recent travel in a carrier?

My 50lb dog ate about 1.5g of smoked salmon. Should I take them to the vet or be concerned? The incident happened approximately 30 minutes ago. The dog has not vomited since eating the salmon and is acting normal, having eaten their kibble since. The dog's name is Storm, age 6, and is a 50lb husky.

My dog, a long-haired Chihuahua named Athena, has been coughing for a few weeks. She is currently taking heartworm prevention medicine but people suspect she might have heartworms. She is eating, drinking, and playing, but I'm worried about the cost of taking her to the vet. Is there anything I can do at home to help her, and what should I look out for to confirm if it's heartworms?

My dog ate about 10-15 mini chocolate candies (small Hershey bars, mini Kit Kats, and mini Reeses cups) a few hours ago. He weighs 75 lbs and seems okay for now, but was shaking his head and ears a little bit recently. How can I monitor him and what should I do?

My dog yelped when I cleaned his ear, shows discomfort, and sometimes shakes his head. What can I do until I get to the vet during the long holiday?

I have two dogs, one weighing about 65 pounds and the other about 75 pounds. I'm not sure which one ate about a dozen no-bake chocolate cookies. The cookies contain two tablespoons of 100% cacao natural unsweetened Hershey brand and 1/2 cup of unsweetened mini semi-sweet chocolate chips. What should I do and what symptoms should I watch for?
