I have a 4-year-old male Labrador Retriever who is healthy but I just noticed a red cyst-like bump by his toe on his paw. It had pus near the end of it which is now gone. He isn't bothered by it. What could this bump be and should I be concerned?

My dog is having episodes where she is breathing heavily and panting as if she was just running a lot, but she was only laying down resting. She is almost 10 years old, spayed, has pink gums, eats and drinks, and is on a steroid for a suspected neck injury. She was diagnosed with hemorrhagic gastroenteritis and recently had trouble walking, which has improved but she is still not 100%. What could be causing these breathing episodes and should we be concerned about COVID-19?

My 2-year-old Labrador, Samson, is drooling blood sometimes, which started about half a day ago. He ate grapes on Saturday afternoon, October 16th, but has not shown any discomfort or signs of kidney failure since then. His teeth look normal, and he is not coughing. What could be causing the drooling of blood, and what should I do?

My 9-year-old black lab/Springer spaniel, Molly, is having trouble using her back legs, acting skittish, and is hard to wake up. This is the first time this has happened. What could be causing this behavior and what should I do?

I have a 14-year-old dog named Marcus who was diagnosed with Vestibular Disease. He has been showing signs of age, such as slowing down and difficulty with stairs, but was alert and eating well until he suddenly started staggering and falling, with a tilted head and shifting eyes. He has not attempted to walk since then, is drinking water but eating very little food, and has been on Dramamine and Amoxicillin. Despite some initial signs of improvement, he never regained the ability to walk and will be euthanized today. I am seeking advice on whether to postpone euthanasia and if there is any chance of him walking again, considering his severe case of vestibular disease and his age.

My 18-week-old puppy ate about 3/4 of a Smucker's grape jelly sandwich 4 hours ago. The puppy has not vomited or had diarrhea. How toxic is Smucker's grape jelly to puppies and what can I expect? Should I go to an urgent pet vet?
