Good morning, we have an outdoor dog, Rolo, who is 13 years old. He has a large chunk of flesh ripped off on his back ankle. We have applied an antibacterial spray, liquid bandage, and wrapped the wound. We are concerned about infection and want to get him on antibiotics right away. However, the local vets charge a high fee to start treatment, and another clinic has a long waiting period. What should we do to ensure Rolo gets the necessary care?

I just noticed a suspicious area on my 11-week-old Golden Retriever's abdomen near the penis. It looks like an abscess or seroma, possibly caused by a scratch or insect bite. The area is soft to the touch, and my dog is not showing signs of pain or discomfort. What could this be, and what should I do?
