Initially, I thought my 10-year-old Airedale, Dexter, had a tick on his ear. By bedtime, we noticed a large thing attached to his ear where it meets his head. We tried removing it but it started to bleed, so we applied IPA. A neighbor suggested it could be a blood blister. Dexter was groomed recently and had no ticks or noticeable bumps then. He also gets monthly flea and tick preventative meds and takes Tramadol and Carbomethal for degenerative spine issues. What do you think it is and how can we treat it?

My 8-week-old puppy, Bunker, ate a laxative (Surfak) 15 minutes ago. He is tiny, weighing only 2 lbs, and did not eat the whole pill, just about 3/4 of an 8.6 mg Sennosides pill. What should I do, and will he be okay?

Our six-year-old border collie, Roxy, who wears a brace for an ACL tear, has been experiencing bouts of pain, increased water intake and urination, and behavioral changes such as pacing and decreased play. She has been eating and pooping fine, and there is no apparent discomfort when her bad leg is touched. What could be causing these symptoms and what tests should be conducted to diagnose the issue?
