My 3-year-old dog has had a swollen tendon in his hind left leg for the last month. He is taking anti-inflammatory medication from the vet, weighs 30 lbs, and occasionally limps. The swelling has decreased somewhat, and he hasn't been getting any exercise due to not going out for walks. An X-ray showed some inflammation but no other issues. Can he go for short walks, and should surgery be considered? What is the worst that could happen?

My dog's right side thigh and groin area are red and swollen, with the groin swelling as big as half the size of a fist. Do I need immediate help, and how can I get emergency veterinary assistance?

My 2.5-year-old Alaskan Malamute has had a persistent cough since Thanksgiving. She was treated for Kennel Cough with two different antibiotics and had normal X-rays of her throat, lungs, and heart. She was put on prednisone, which stopped the coughing but caused side effects. Once off the prednisone, the coughing returned. What could be causing her chronic cough, and what other treatments can be considered?

My small dog got a crusty finishing nail stuck in her paw pad about 1/4 inch deep. I pulled it out, and it did not bleed. Since it is Sunday and I can't take her to the vet, what should I do until tomorrow? Should she get a tetanus shot and antibiotics? She walked on that paw earlier, but she is now limping.

Hi, my dog just ate a Quick-Eze and she has pancreatitis. Just wondering if this can be harmful.
