I have a 4-5 pound Yorkie Peek-a-poo dog with a sore on his front leg/paw. The sore looks like an abscess and the dog has been walking on it. I can't afford an expensive ER visit and want to know what I can do at home to help my dog. What should I do and what should I look for to monitor the condition?

My dog, Coco, has a dark red, larger than a quarter spot on her stomach that looks like a hickey. She is 4 years old and has a history of skin itching, for which she takes Temaril P. What could this spot be and what should I monitor for?

My dog, Maggie, a 14-year-old with existing health conditions including steroids, theophylline, and Viagra for pulmonary hypertension, licked a styrofoam takeout box with a small amount of balsamic vinegar, oil, and chicken seasoning. Should I be concerned, and is there anything I should do?

I just got a 4-month-old mixed breed puppy (Maltese/Chihuahua) named Ozzie. He hasn't had any accidents in the house, but he isn't peeing every time I take him out. For example, he hasn't peed since 7:00 PM last night and it's now 9:00 AM (14 hours). I've put water in his crate while I'm at work in case he's dehydrated. What else should I do?
