I just picked up a 13-week-old dog named Dracarys from the airport and noticed an abscess on his paw. What could be the cause of this, and what should I do to treat it until I can get him to a vet?

The abscess on Dracarys' paw appears to be fresh trauma, possibly caused by the dog trying to escape...

Our dog, Katiebug, has stopped eating, has a smell like a GI bleeder, an unsteady gait, flinches when touched, and sleeps constantly. She is 16 years old. We believe it's time to have her put down. Can this be done today?

My dog is breathing quickly with his mouth closed and vomited about 20 minutes ago. He was acting strangely before that and has been holding his head in an unusual position. I'm worried he might have eaten something like a piece of stick in the backyard. Is this a cause for concern, and what should I do?

My 6-year-old goldendoodle, Hamilton, had bloody diarrhea with mucus about 45 minutes ago. He's up to date on vaccinations, has no history of health issues, and is acting normally. He hasn't vomited or had any other symptoms. He has a habit of stealing food, so it's possible he ate some human food without knowing. Can I monitor him until the morning and then call our vet for advice, or is this an emergency?

My dog, Benson, is 11 years old and has been peeing blood. He seems more tired than usual, moves slower, and has been urinating in small, frequent amounts. He is not neutered and is eating and drinking normally. What could be causing this and what should I do?

My 9lb chihuahua, Cheech, ate an entire dark chocolate cacao bar about the size of a Kit Kat bar, which is 70% cacao, in the past 20 minutes. He hasn't thrown up yet. What should I do?
