Our 5-year-old chocolate lab, Gracie, ate 4 pounds of semi-sweet chocolate chips. She has thrown up most of it and is currently drinking water and shaking. Our vet doesn't open until 1 PM. What should we do at home to help her until then?

My wife texted me last night saying our dog, Remington, wouldn't get up on the bed and yelped when picked up. She just ate, drank, and went to the bathroom normally, but seems to be in pain, possibly in her back or legs. Could she have eaten something unusual at the horse farm next door? What should we do?

After feeding my dog, Maddie (a 16-month-old Puggle), the last tablet of Frontline Plus with food, she threw up 9 hours later after the second feeding. This was her second dose of Frontline Plus, with the first dose given 3 weeks earlier. Did the 9-hour lapse give enough time for her to absorb the drug?

My dog, Loki, a 2-year-old mixed Doberman pinscher and terrier weighing about 50 pounds, vomited twice pieces of a plastic mesh bag about 2 hours ago. He's now sleeping. What should I do to ensure he doesn't have any remaining plastic in his GI tract and how can I support his GI health?

My dog, Athena, has an inflamed, reddened area between her toe pads on her back paw. I noticed it three days ago when she started licking it. She last saw a vet in September 2023 and is not on any medications. What could be causing this inflammation, and should I take her to a vet in person or try home treatment first?

My dog ate rat poison containing brodifacoum. He vomited within 40 minutes and we induced vomiting in the second dog as a precaution. Both dogs have been given potassium K1, but they vomited it up after dinner. What are the potential risks and causes of their vomiting?
