Hello, I have an 11-year-old male beagle with an ear hematoma. There is no pain, no visible puncture wounds, and the ear is warm to the touch but not red. It's smaller than a golf ball. What are the treatment options and can steroids be used instead of surgery?

My 4-year-old Doberman swallowed a cooked pork chop bone. She has shown symptoms such as dry heaving and bad-smelling gas. She has been lethargic and had a loss of appetite. What should I do, and how long is the danger period for her?

My dog chewed on a bottle of Bactine and drank half the bottle. Can you tell me how much Bill weighs and how large the bottle of Bactine was - in ounces or mL? Bactine contains benzalkonium chloride 0.13%, which is equivalent to 1.3 mg/mL. Dogs remained safe after ingesting 12.5 mg/kg, but deaths were seen at 25-50 mg/kg.

I have a 6-month-old huntaway x puppy. In the last two weeks, I have noticed a growth above one of his front paws that appears red, painful, and is getting bigger quickly. The puppy hasn't had any other health issues and doesn't have any other unusual bumps or growths. What could this growth be and what should I do about it?

I have a 5-year-old female Chihuahua weighing about 6 lbs. She has been licking her behind frequently and I noticed a couple of scabs around her anus. She is eating and drinking normally but is excessively licking and rubbing her bum on the floor. What could be causing this and what should I do?
