Hello. I have a large dog named Bo, who is 9 years old and cannot put weight on his back left leg. This started yesterday after he fell during a walk. I have checked his leg and hip, and nothing seems to hurt, but he can't walk. What could be the issue, and what should I do?

My senior Bichon, who is 15 years old, has been experiencing symptoms of a bad cold or serious allergies for about 2.5 months, including green snot, mouth breathing, and severe coughing. She has been to multiple vets and has undergone several treatments, including antibiotics and tooth removal, but her condition has not improved and has worsened, now including excessive drinking, vomiting, lethargy, and refusal to eat. What could be causing these symptoms and what further steps should be taken?

My cats, Pumpkin and Pineapple, both about 15 months old and weighing around 10lbs, licked a small amount (1/4 tsp to 1 tbsp) of pasta sauce containing less than 1% garlic, onions, salt, and mushrooms about 12-24 hours ago. They vomited tan/golden/brown soft solids about 2-12 hours ago but are otherwise active and playful. How long should I wait before considering it safe, and what emergency signs should I watch for?

Our puppy, Ruby, has had 2 rounds of vaccines. When can we bring her to public places with other dogs, and is it safe for her to interact with fully vaccinated dogs that frequent dog parks?

My 11-year-old Chihuahua named Tait, who was diagnosed with cancer (possibly lymphoma or sarcoma) in 2019, is vomiting yellow bile 2-4 times a week and has been showing signs of wheezing and weakness. He has not been on any medications and was not checked during a recent stay at a facility. Should I take him to the vet immediately?
