My 7-year-old Schipperke, Nicola, was spayed in early February. We got her in mid-March. Her stitches weep just a little several times a week. She had a 24-hour period of diarrhea, a warm nose, and low appetite but has since recovered fully. She is very active, eats well, drinks, and relieves herself normally. What could be causing the stitches to weep, and is there anything we should do?

My dog, Butters, has a persistent lump on his tail that has a lesion and doesn't stay healed. It's been there for several months and has been licked by another dog. My vet suggested amputating the tail above the lump for biopsy, but I'm unsure if this is the right course of action. Should I consider another opinion or proceed with the amputation?

My 12-year-old dog, Lizzy, had a tooth removed last Wednesday and has since stopped eating, even refusing her usual food like browned hamburger. She also experienced diarrhea and was straining to defecate. The vet confirmed she is healing well but didn't provide a solution for her eating issues. How can I get her to start eating and manage her digestive problems?

I applied lavender oil to my 3-year-old King Charles Cavalier named Roxy during a thunderstorm to help with her stress, and now she seems very flat and unable to jump up on the couch. Could the lavender oil be making her sick, and what should I do?

My Bichon Frise, Snuggles, who is 5 1/2 years old, ate a Biotin 5000mcg, 1 vitamin B6, a B12 1000mcg, and possibly a Hydrochlorothiazide 12.5 mg. Will he be okay?
