My teacup Yorkie, Bader, had a choking episode last night and was in the emergency room. The x-ray didn't show anything in his trachea, but he may have aspirated. His breathing is louder than normal, and he's not acting like himself. He's 1 year old and weighs 2 pounds. What should I do, and can I get antibiotics for him?

My 3-year-old German Shepherd male dog, Sir Matthew, is limping on his front left paw. He was fine yesterday but started limping today. He is an outside dog and is currently with a female German Shepherd who is fine. What could be causing the limp, and what should I do to help him?

My 75lb lab, Joe, ate about 25 Hershey's milk chocolate kisses approximately 6 hours ago. He seems okay but has eaten grass and tried to sneak some of our dinner. We are in the middle of a winter storm and it's over an hour to the nearest vet. Should I take him to the vet or monitor him at home?

My 55 lbs Irish setter ate 204 grams of Ghirardelli's dark chocolate peppermint bark about 7 hours ago. She seems fine, a bit gassy, and is currently asleep. She takes heartworm medication and sees the vet regularly. Should I be worried, and what should I watch for?

My 6lbs puppy ate a mini Kit Kat and 2 Hershey's kisses. She hasn't thrown up yet, and we are trying to induce vomiting, but she won't. She ate it about an hour ago. What should I do?

My German Shepherd, Roxy, ate two of my daughter's panty liners from the trash. She is 9 years old, weighs 80lbs, and has a sensitive stomach. She projectile vomited throughout the night, with part of the panty liner coming up. She has since pooped solidly and is moving slowly, just laying on the tile. Do you think she just feels sick from throwing up all night, or is there something else wrong, such as a potential blockage?
