One of my dogs ate a chocolate cake containing cocoa processed with alkali. It was a pre-made mix from Betty Crocker. Neither of my dogs have shown any abnormal signs/symptoms. They are both approximately 50 lbs, one is about 4 years old, and the other is 7 years old. Should I do something at this point or just monitor them? I assume it was eaten between 7:30-8:30 AM.

My dog is very uncomfortable, her ear seems to be bothering her a lot. She keeps tilting to the side and it's more red than the other ear. This has happened to her in the past if something has gotten into her ear or after swimming. Can you please recommend a drop that I can use to alleviate her discomfort? Usually, drops help a lot.

My dog, Ember, vomited her food (raw ground beef, white rice, and green peas mixed with water) yesterday morning, with the rice and peas coming out separately followed by blood. She also had diarrhea with blood. She has been drinking water, urinating, and eating a small portion of white rice, pumpkin purée, and cooked meatballs mixed with water since then. She has been alert and active. Is it safe to continue monitoring her, and would the symptoms persist if it was stomach ulcers or hemorrhagic gastroenteritis? Should I take her to the vet?
