I'm seeking a second opinion on my 11-year-old male dog's x-ray. He was diagnosed with Osteosarcoma by an ER vet based solely on an x-ray, but we are skeptical because he had a non-cancerous biopsy result on the same arm a few months prior. Additionally, our previous vet in Oklahoma suggested that the symptoms he had last summer (sudden lameness in back legs, coughing, lethargy) could have been due to valley fever, which was not treated. My dog is currently acting normal, eating, drinking, and eliminating normally, and showing signs of improvement after resting his injured leg. What could be the cause of the lump on his shoulder, and should we consider further testing for valley fever?

My dog, Denali, who is 3 years old, has started wheezing two days ago, which is not normal for him. He has never experienced this before and it happens after running. He did not eat well on Sunday night but ate fine yesterday and drank water. What could be causing this wheezing, and what should I do?

My 60-pound Golden Doodle, Nelson, ate one pill of my husband's Roman testosterone support. The pill contains ashwagandha, copper, zinc, magnesium, vitamin D3, and Maca. My husband takes 4 pills a day, and he found only 3 in his pocket, with Nelson having eaten the fourth. What should I do?

My 8-year-old Rottweiler, Leo, hurt his back leg last week. The joint is swollen and he is licking the area frequently. He has been lying down and not moving much since the injury. What could be causing the swelling, and what steps should I take to help him?

My 3-month-old puppy, Fred, has been experiencing loss of appetite, vomiting, white gums, and not drinking water since receiving his 4-in-1 shots. He was fine for half a day after the shots but then started vomiting and hasn't been the same since. He has no diarrhea and no pain, but his gums are white and he's not himself. What could be causing this and what should I do?
