Hello my 100lb, 12 year old American bulldog ingested crab apples in my backyard. He is now lethargic and panting mildly heavy. He vomited and had diarrhea once… a few hours ago. Since then he is drinking normally and has a little appetite also he is urinating normally. His only symptoms are lethargy and panting… Should I be concerned….
Yes, the vomiting and lethargy are concerning, especially at his age. If he were just having diarrhea from it, I would worry less but given the vomiting and lethargy, I would go ahead and have your local veterinarian check him out if it continues.
My dog can’t move and his color is purple. We put flea and tick medicine on him about 5hours ago. What can we do to help him? There is no emergency vet clinic open near us.
An emergency vet will be open, you just might have to travel and wait for a long time but this sounds like an emergency.

My dog is 35 lb and accidentally ingested one red seedless grape off the floor. Should we take him to an emergency vet or is that likely too small of a dose to do harm?
Most dogs can eat grapes to their heart's content with no side effects. A VERY small % of dogs seem hypersensitive to them but it would take more than one grape for a toxic exposure in a 35 pound dog.

Help! My dog ate some Pothos levies and vomiting and not eating any food for a day. We took her to the vet and went through ultrasound, blood works, etc, she still has fluid in her stomach and liver functioning abornormal. Please help if you have any experience of this kind of case.
