My black Labrador retriever, Otis, is starting to lose fur over the past month. He has been biting at his skin and it’s getting thinner, but I don’t see any fleas on him. His skin is itchy but doesn’t have any bumps. What could be causing this and what can I do to help him?

My 55lb golden retriever, Rosie, ate a lighter about half an hour ago. The lighter fluid was gone, and she ate some of the plastic. She has congenital kidney disease but her bloodwork is normal. She's currently laying down and her tail is wagging. What should I do?

My cat and dog ate the absorbent package inside a tray of raw chicken. The dog is 10.5 lbs, the cat is 17 lbs, and both are acting normal. The packet was possibly silica gel and about 9x3 inches. Not sure which animal ate most. What should I do to ensure they don't develop an intestinal obstruction, and is there a way to induce vomiting if needed?

My dog, Micco, a 4-year-old standard dachshund weighing 25-28 lbs, may have eaten about 3-4 grapes 20-30 minutes ago. He has shown no symptoms of vomiting or any other abnormalities. What should I do?

My 9-year-old French bulldog/Boston terrier mix started having seizures. Today, at the vet, he was sedated to stop clustering, and we brought him home after recovery. We were given phenobarbital tablets labeled as 1/2 gram, but he should be taking 25 mg tablets since he weighs 23-25 lbs. We gave him one tablet, and now he can't walk and has gone from hyper to unable to stand on his own. Should we take him to the ER?
