Our dog, Tesla, an 80 lbs, 12-year-old dog, chewed on and possibly ate some of our succulent mother of thousands. We are unsure of the exact amount, but it was not more than one leaf. It happened about an hour ago, and she has not vomited since. How concerned should we be, and what should we watch for?

My 75-pound dog ate a piece of chocolate cake with chocolate icing, about 4"x5" in size, 15 minutes ago. The cake had a normal amount of icing on top, about 1/4 inch thick, and no chocolate chips. Should I make him vomit, take him to the vet, or is he likely to tolerate that amount without harm?

My 12-year-old dog had a new episode where his eyes moved left and right, he tilted his head, and became very wobbly. He hasn't gotten up for 2 hours and when he does, he starts to go stiff and his head turns left and right. What could be the issue, and what should I do?

My dog, who is almost 11 years old, started taking Vetoryl for Cushing's disease two days ago and is now experiencing extreme lethargy and loss of appetite. He seems weak and depressed. Should I discontinue the medication, and what can I do to help him feel better until I can consult with a vet?

My 9-year-old dog, Huey, has been excessively drooling since this morning, but otherwise seems normal—eating, drinking, and having a wet nose. His teeth appear normal, and he's eating Purina Pro Plan. What could be causing the drooling, and what should I check or do?
