What if a 56-day-old Labrador ate a Jacques gold-coin chocolate?
After a dog eats chocolate, check if it contains theobromine and caffeine, which damage the nervous system and kidneys and can't be metabolized fast; caffeine causes excitement, tachycardia, heart attack, sudden death. Induce vomiting with diluted soapy water or peroxide, then rush to a vet for gastric lavage and IV detoxification.
At what age can a female rabbit be bred?

Can a rabid cat infect a non-rabid cat through mating, and is a dog-like bark a sign of rabies?
