My dog chewed up an ibuprofen and spit it out. It looks like she chewed it up and didn’t like the taste and spit it back out. So maybe about 1/2-1/3 of the actual pill. The ibuprofen was 200 milligrams. My dog is a 9-month-old chihuahua mix, weighing about 8-10 pounds. She is acting totally normal, but I’m not sure how much she may have ingested or how long ago it happened. Is there a way I can make her throw up or something?

My dog got her annual vaccines today and is having an allergic reaction. I gave her 50mg of Benadryl about 4 hours ago and another 25mg 3 hours ago. She is now awake again and very uncomfortable. What should I do next, and how often can I give Benadryl before needing to take her to an emergency vet?

My dog, Luna, who is 14 years old and has congestive heart failure and pulmonary hypertension, suddenly started producing a lot of saliva that obstructed her airway and throat. She was very uncomfortable and panicky, and was not eating. Can I give her hydrocodone for this, and should I consult a vet?
