What should be done for a 20 lb mini Aussie puppy named Charlotte, who is 10 months old, after ingesting Fipronil from Frontline flea and tick medicine about 1.5 hours ago? She has vomited six times, is alert but looks miserable, and the vomit is mostly clear with a suggestion of bile. There are no neurologic signs or other symptoms except probable nausea.

My husband accidentally ran over our 16-week-old dog, Tucker, with his truck. Tucker's stomach is purple and red, and he's not walking normally, especially with his back leg. What should we do for Tucker's injuries, and is it safe to give him Tylenol for pain?

My 14-year-old dog, Jackie, has been having trouble breathing through her nose, sneezing a lot, and is exhausted. She has been treated twice by the vet for mites and antibiotics, but there has been no improvement. She is not eating well and falls asleep standing up. What can be done to help her breathe better and get some rest?

My teacup Yorkie, Bader, had a choking episode last night and was in the emergency room. The x-ray didn't show anything in his trachea, but he may have aspirated. His breathing is louder than normal, and he's not acting like himself. He's 1 year old and weighs 2 pounds. What should I do, and can I get antibiotics for him?

My 75lb lab, Joe, ate about 25 Hershey's milk chocolate kisses approximately 6 hours ago. He seems okay but has eaten grass and tried to sneak some of our dinner. We are in the middle of a winter storm and it's over an hour to the nearest vet. Should I take him to the vet or monitor him at home?
