My small Maltese Yorkie GrandDaughter, Penny, who is 8 years old, chewed on a small pork rib bone that was on the floor. She broke a small area of the bone and seemed hesitant to get back on the bed. Is she going to be okay? Should I be concerned about splinters in her mouth or choking? She is currently lying down and seems fine, but I'm not sure about her usual behavior as she is staying with me temporarily.

I have a 14-year-old Chihuahua named Skittles who weighs about 6 pounds. She has a dry cough that started about 3 days ago. She is eating and drinking normally, but the cough is not constant but occurs frequently. I am considering if she might need an antibiotic. What could be causing her cough and what steps should I take?

My dog mistakenly drank some of my half decaf latte. Should I be worried? The dog is 62 lbs, drank a small amount (like a human sip), and it was just 5 minutes ago. The dog seems normal and has not vomited. The dog's name is Roo, she’s about 5 years old, and is a healthy dog with no known allergies.

My 80 lb Basset Hound ate a grape that had dropped to the floor. I know grapes are toxic. Has the Basset vomited since ingesting the grapes? Is there anything else the Vet should know before I connect you?

My dog ate some tomato fertilizer and is showing signs of sickness, including diarrhea with some blood. He weighs 75 pounds and is acting normal otherwise. Should I take him to the vet, or can I monitor him at home?

My dog ate 90mg of weed chocolate. The dog weighs a little over 50lbs and has been quiet and bobbing since. What should I do and is my dog in serious danger?
