We are dog-sitting for our son this weekend. The dog started limping earlier today and we would like to know if there is any of our generic medicine that might help. The dog is limping and trying not to put weight on her front right leg. Her name is Bella and she is approximately 6-7 years old. She is a tall dog, white with large black spots, and was rescued from 'Helping Strays Columbia, Il.' She is current on all her shots, eats only Purina dog food, and takes no medicine. There is no history of traumatic incident or activity that might have caused the limping; it has been going on for about four days.

My 5-pound Yorkie got into leftover Mexican food (fajitas with rice, beans, and pico de gallo). I'm worried about potential health issues. What should I do to monitor their condition and what precautions should I take if they show signs of gastrointestinal upset?

My 7-year-old, 21-pound dachshund, Marley, ate about 4 oz of milk chocolate 15 minutes ago. He has not vomited and is being treated for high liver enzymes. Should I be concerned about chocolate toxicity, and what should I do?

My dog, Winston, an Australian Shepherd, has had some irritation in his ears for 3 days. He vomited 4 times yesterday and has small lesions and redness in his ears. He is on Symparica Trio medication and is 20 months old. What could be causing this and what should I do?

My 100lb Rottweiler, Stormie, vomited 13-15 times yesterday, initially with non-digested dog food and now clear, watery vomit. She is not interested in drinking water and tried to pass stool but was in pain. What could be causing this and what should I do?
