Hi, I have a 4-year-old Sheltie named Sadie. She went to the vet last Tuesday for vomiting and diarrhea and received an antibiotic shot, a pain shot, and a shot to stop vomiting. Two days ago, I noticed a large lump between her shoulders where the shots were given. The vet said it could be an irritation from the injections and might take 3-6 weeks to go away. Sadie has never had this happen before with other shots. Could this be an allergy to one of the shots? What should I do?

The lump Sadie has developed is likely a seroma, which is a common reaction to injections, character...

I have a 5-month-old Chihuahua. His penis has been protruding so far that it looks like his 'balls' are also out. He sits still and I've been using a cool rag to help it go back in. Why is this happening and should he be seen?

We have a 11-year-old chihuahua. We put him in his crate at night and notice his blanket is damp/wet in the morning. It doesn't smell like pee but has a weird smell and is very damp all over, similar to human night sweats. Could this be night sweats in a dog and why would a dog sweat like that?

Our 1-year-old Labrador has been down the beach and appears to have swallowed a lot of water. For the past 4 hours, he has been very lethargic and uninterested in food and water. This is very uncharacteristic for him. What should we do?

We may have given my 12-year-old beagle (26 lbs) a second dose of simplicef, 12 hours apart. He doesn't seem to be having any adverse effects. What should we be concerned about or look for if he reacts poorly? He just had knee and bladder surgery.

My dog yelps every time his snout (nose or front of teeth) are bumped. I see no swelling. Gums look more red than usual around the top front teeth. Though he does not yelp if I put my finger in his mouth and press around that area. What could be causing this pain?
