No, I would not let her chew on any wood actually. Willow trees can toxic if the bark is ingested. Wood pieces in generally are not digested and can lead to an obstruction, vomiting and bloody diarrhea, or cough and choking.

Hello, it looks like that may be a winterberry plant. The toxicity for this plants to dog is associated with vomiting and diarrhea with occasional lethargy. Most of the time, these signs are self limiting, however, severe vomiting and diarrhea should be assessed by your veterinarian. Further information on this plant and its toxicity, as well as other potential toxic plants could be attained from ASPCA Poison Control line by calling 888-426-4435. Call them and describe the plant to obtain more precise recommendations on wether Willow should be seen by a veterinarian today. Hope this helps and best of luck.

Hello and thank you for reaching out to Boop by Petco. Based on what you are describing, and the pictures, I suspect that Willow may have an infection with ectoparasites, such as mites or fleas, that are causing her to be itchy. Your veterinarian can perform a skin scrape and evaluate the cells under a microscope to look for evidence of infectious agents. Please ensure that Willow is on a monthly topical flea and tick preventative that you purchase from your veterinarian; NOT one that can be purchased from a pet or grocery store, as these are not regulated and can be very toxic to pets. Willow could also have allergic skin disease, secondary to food or environmental agents. You can talk to your veterinarian about trying a diet trial to determine if Willow's itchy skin resolves on a particular novel protein diet. The thickened ears can be due to chronic ear infections, so your veterinarian will be able to examine the waxy debris under a microscope and prescribe the appropriate medicatio

It sounds like Willow's skin sustained enough trauma to cause the skin to die and the black area is no longer vital or alive. This can happen with cat bite wounds that develop infection underneath the skin, called an abscess. If there is a foul odor present or any drainage apparent,Willow likely needs to see you veterinarian to have the wound valuated and likely started on antibiotics.

Yes usually there is an entry wound with something stuck in the paw. The picture looks like she has an infection between the toes. This is infected interdigital cysts. It can affect one paw or all four. Often they have some drainage and swelling. I recommend taking Willow to the veterinarian for an exam. They will look for a foreign body in the paw and if it's a paw infection they will prescribe antibiotics. You can soak the paw in warm epsoms salt solution for five to ten minutes. This will draw out the infection and increase the blood supply to speed healing. If Willow is licking this excessively please use a restraint collar so she can't lick the paw. These generally heal quickly with treatment. Thanks for using Boop by Petco to help you care for Willow.
