My dogs, Maggie (4 years old, 10 lbs) and Maya (5 years old, 11 lbs), ate half a piece of chocolate chip bread made with Ghirardelli semi-sweet mini chocolate chips (60% cacao). They ate about half a serving each. What are the potential effects and what should I watch for?

My dog, Ravin, ate a flex disc from the bathroom trash. She seems fine but I'm concerned she might have trouble passing it. What should I do and how long will it take for her to pass it?

My dog, JD, an American bulldog/retriever mix weighing about 75 lbs, started limping on his back left leg yesterday and today has his tail tucked, his back curved down, and is not eating much. He doesn't seem to want to go out much and was doing a breathy whine yesterday but not today. What could be causing these symptoms and what should I do?

My 1-year-old male dog, Walter, is vomiting, has bright red bloody diarrhea, and a swollen, red/bruised scrotum 12 days post-castration. He has been sick with diarrhea since yesterday evening, and his stools have become increasingly bloody. He hasn't eaten anything unusual and has not been fed for 24 hours but has had unrestricted water intake. What should I do?

My 11-year-old dog, Chloe, occasionally experiences coughing fits where she goes outside to eat snow or grass frantically. She then returns inside and seems fine. What could be causing these fits and why does she eat grass or snow?
