I have a 5-month-old Havanese-Shih Tzu female puppy named Stella who was playing and slid on the floor, causing her to cry and limp on her right front leg. I examined her leg and found no pain upon palpation or joint movement, but she is tender when placing weight on it. Additionally, I have a 14-year-old Bernerdoodle spayed female who has been deteriorating in her hind quarters for months, and recently started dragging her left leg due to increased pain. I gave her gabapentin for pain relief, which helped, but today I discovered a very large, firm mass in her thigh muscle area. The mass is painful when palpated and seems to affect her ability to walk. What could be causing these issues, and what should I do?

My dog, Bear, is 12 years old and has been taking Rimadyl for arthritis. Recently, I noticed one of his testicles is larger than the other and seems to be absorbing into the other one. He also drinks a lot of water and wants to go out in the middle of the night daily. What could be causing this and what should I do?

My 3-year-old Husky, Sophie, accidentally ate my other dog's seizure medication, which included 2 tablets of Keppra 500 mg and 1 Phenobarbital tablet 69 mcg. She weighs 55 lbs and is currently showing signs of coordination issues but is otherwise healthy. What should I do?

My 3-year-old Teddy bear poodle has been vomiting yellow and has bloody diarrhea since this morning. I gave him a new treat yesterday, which might have caused this issue due to his sensitive stomach. What could be causing this and what should I do to help him?
