My dog had a cast removed, but her nails were too long and cut her skin, leaving a wound. The vet advised putting a cone on her and letting it heal, but I'm concerned about the lack of antibiotics or bandaging. What can I do to help her heal and ensure she can walk without further injury?

My chihuahua, Tiny, has runny stools with worms for 2 days. She vomited the night before last and has a small amount of blood in her stool, along with what looks like a tapeworm segment. She weighs 3 lbs, has no known medical problems, and has been given pyrantel pamoate 1/2 ml. What should I do to help her?

Is it possible for a 2-year-old female Chihuahua to be in proestrus for over a month, showing signs of coming into heat since before Christmas, with progesterone levels consistently below 1.2? She has been checked for pregnancy and brucellosis, and her general health is good, but her heat cycles are hard to determine and last a long time.

My dog, Oscar, a 9-year-old 40-pound dog, ate about 10 Hershey Kisses (milk chocolate) about 1.5 hours ago. He has not vomited and is eating and drinking fine. Should I be concerned about chocolate toxicity, and what should I watch for?
