Our Rat Terrier, Joe, ingested a wooden splinter from wooden blinds about 6 weeks ago. Since then, he has been experiencing chronic regurgitation and vomiting after meals, especially if excited. We visited a vet who took x-rays but couldn't see anything and didn't examine Joe's throat. The vet suggested an ultrasound, but we are unsure if this is the correct next step. We are also considering endoscopy or a less invasive procedure like laparoscopy. What should be the next steps in diagnosing and treating Joe's condition?

My dog, Lexi, a 9-year-old 85-pound healthy dog, ate the top of a bullseye sauce cap whole, which is about 1 inch in diameter. She hasn't thrown up yet and is currently showing no unusual signs other than slight panting. Should I be worried about the cap not passing or should I induce vomiting?

My dog, Tbone, who is 12 years old, has some fluid coming from his left eye, making it wet and causing him to close it occasionally. I noticed this issue today around 5 PM. He doesn't seem to have any allergies. What could be causing this and what can I do to help?

My dog, Ernie, a 7-month-old border terrier, has been experiencing a decrease in appetite, nausea, and irritability for the past 2 days. We recently introduced digestive canned food from the vet, but he still shows no interest in eating. We are considering switching to fresh-made meals like The Farmer's Dog. What could be causing Ernie's symptoms, and what are your thoughts on fresh-made meals versus kibble, and how should we manage recipe changes for a dog with a sensitive stomach?

My dog, a 22-pound husky puppy named Gohan, swallowed a small plushy arm about the size of a finger length and two finger widths, with no stuffing, about 10-15 minutes ago. Should I induce vomiting?
