My dog, Charley, a 4-year-old Cavalier King Charles Spaniel, fell from a couch and is limping on his right hind leg. He did not bleed from the fall, and he weighs 13 pounds. He is normally very active and athletic. What should I do?

My 5-month-old puppy, Jack Jack, got a small cut on his cheek a couple of days ago, and now it is swollen. The cut is not bleeding, and the temperature of the swollen area is the same as his other cheek. I cleaned it with hydrogen peroxide yesterday. What should I do, and are there any signs I should watch for to determine if it's getting better or worse?

My dog ate one ibuprofen tablet, 200 mg. The dog weighs 37 lbs and I gave her two capfuls of peroxide to try to make her vomit, but she hasn't vomited yet. The dog's name is Gemma, and she will be 7 years old on June 22. She is a mini goldendoodle and is generally healthy, not on any medications. What should I do?

My 13-year-old dog, Apollo, suddenly started dragging his back legs and can't walk. He doesn't seem to be in pain, but he is confused. He had some rear leg stiffness a month ago and was given gabapentin, which he reacted poorly to. What could be causing this and what should I do?
