My dog got sprayed by a skunk, what should I do?
I think my dog/cat has toad poisoning. What should I do?
My dog's eye is out of its socket.
My dog just got attacked by a bunch of bees
My dog has a hunting arrow inside of him. How do I get it out?

I could go on and on about the phone calls we get, and some of the things that I've seen.

My two favorites are still:

My dog was limping so I gave him a Tylenol, and now he's vomiting, what should I do?

And

My male dog was humping my female and now they're stuck together butt to butt, how do I pull them apart?

I might be dumb enough to do this. I already give my dog two baby asprin when she's limping badly, so I can (almost) picture feeling SO BAD for the dog and just wanting the dog to feel better and you're out of baby asprin but the chewable tylenol is right there, and...

lol! kstar, I totally forgot about these. Yes, we've gotten these calls too. Have you gotten any chocolate calls? or what about the Advil ones. "Uhm, I gave my dog some chocolate and now he won't stop vomiting. What should I do?"

Cats are more susceptible to asprin toxicity than dogs. Ibuprofin is like the worst for both.
