How long can a healthy dog go without eating a meal? My picky dog is being stubborn about his kibble, and he and I are currently waiting to see who "breaks" first. He didn't eat at all yesterday, and hasn't eaten at all today either. (This isn't the first time we've had a battle of wills over food, but I've never actually gotten a straight answer from a professional about how long it's safe to wait out his hunger.)

My dog ate grapes and I gave hydrogen peroxide 3% as per doctor's order but gave 15 ml, which is more than recommended for a 6-pound dog. The dog vomited within minutes. What are the risks and should I be worried?

My dog ingested at least one whole block of Tomcat mouse poison containing bromethalin. The closest vet is 2 hours away. How much of the mouse poison did the dog ingest? Has he vomited? How much are they going to charge me? What can I give my 9-year-old shepherd, who weighs 80 lbs, for inflammation and pain that won't harm her kidneys?
