A dog broke free of their fence and bit my dog, Suki, who is 12 years old. She now has a puncture wound about the size of a dime in her dewlap. There was a small amount of bleeding, and no swelling. I've cleaned the wound with hibiclens. What should I do next, and should I wash the wound out with water now?

My dog, Charlie, a 5-year-old mixed breed, has had a decreased appetite, lack of energy, and difficulty pooping since yesterday. He threw up undigested food and grass, and now he's not eating and can't poop. He's drinking and peeing normally but seems stiff and lethargic. What could be causing this and what should I do?

I have a 5-week-old puppy named Wally that I'm fostering. He was abandoned in a parking lot and has been playful for the last 4 days. However, this morning he is lethargic, won't eat or drink, and just wants to sleep. He has peed and pooped once since he woke up, and his stool is slightly loose. What should I do?

My 9-year-old Chiweenie, Jetta Reneah, has been yelping when she moves a certain way, tries to shake her head, or sits up for a treat. She started this behavior on Saturday with no other symptoms. What could be causing her pain and what should I do?

My golden retriever, Wilson, is acting unusually anxious, not eating treats or playing with his favorite toys, and seems sad or mopey. He didn't rest well overnight and is not interested in playing, even with the dog walker. He was recently removed from daycare due to not enjoying playtime with other dogs. What could be causing this behavior and what can I do to help him?
