I have a 10-year-old Border Collie-Australian Shepherd mix. A month ago, I noticed a bump on her tail that oozed a reddish liquid. The vet initially treated it as an infected wound from a possible bee sting or bug bite with antibiotics and antiseptic washes. However, the bump hasn't diminished, and the wound hasn't fully healed, instead releasing a waxy white substance. What should I do to ensure the wound heals on its own, or should I consider surgery?

My small dog, Brody, who is about 3 years old, has an infection from an accident. The bandage is soaked through, and he started antibiotics yesterday. Should I rebandage him myself or find an open vet to have him looked at?

My 7-pound cavapoo puppy, Maisie, was diagnosed with giardia 8 days ago and completed a week of medication treatment, but she is still having diarrhea. She also ingested about an inch of twine yesterday, and there was blood in her stool this morning. Is the continued diarrhea normal after giardia treatment, and could the twine be causing the blood in her stool?

My 12-year-old dachshund, who had surgery last Wednesday for spaying and tumor removal, has been throwing up white foam. Her appetite and energy level were fine until about four hours ago. She had blood work six weeks ago indicating pancreatitis, and she is on a low-fat diet and Meloxicam. She didn't eat dinner but had a small amount of beef, which she hasn't had for six weeks. What should I do?
