My dog had a dental cleaning 2 weeks ago and had 2 lesions removed and biopsied, which turned out to be from a secondary infection. She was given antibiotics for 2 weeks. Now she has a swelling at the base of her jaw, below the ears, which is not sensitive. After spending $650 on the last procedure, I'm afraid to call my vet. What could be causing the swelling and should I be concerned?

My puppy, Simba, has eaten a sock, and I am wondering if it is safe to give him hydrogen peroxide to induce vomiting. He weighs 15 kg and is very healthy, having previously pooped out another sock without complications. How much hydrogen peroxide should I give him, and what should I do if he doesn't vomit after the initial dose?

My 10-year-old puggle, Cooper, is at the vet hospital on an IV for fluids due to trouble urinating and vomiting. His kidney and liver enzymes are very high, and he has blood in his urine. The vet wants to put a catheter in and check his levels again. What is the prognosis for Cooper, and what steps should be taken to determine his kidney function and treat his condition?

My dog ate a block of tomcat rat killer containing Bromethalin as the active ingredient. He is a 3.5-year-old, 70-pound dog and ate it about 45 minutes ago. Should I induce vomiting with hydrogen peroxide, or is it not necessary due to the amount of poison ingested?
