My 8-year-old Lab, Betty, ate parts of a rabbit 2 days ago and has since shown signs of an upset stomach, including vomiting and diarrhea. She is about 90 lbs and was running during a recent hour-long walk. What should I do to help her recover and when should I seek veterinary care?

My 3-month-old Yorkie, Archie, ate some chocolate cupcake this morning and is feeling sick. He weighs about 2 pounds, hasn't vomited but gagged earlier, and is less active with low energy. His gums look white. What should I do?

My 5-year-old dog, Jax, has a tender abdomen and yelps when touched. He's eating but won't sit up for treats, which is unusual for him. He's also not jumping onto the couch. He's taking Latanoprost, ketorolac, Ofloxacin for an eye condition, and Apoquel and Petlab Co. Itch Relief for itchy skin. What could be causing his discomfort and what should I watch for if I wait to bring him to the vet?
