Initially, I thought my 10-year-old Airedale, Dexter, had a tick on his ear. By bedtime, we noticed a large thing attached to his ear where it meets his head. We tried removing it but it started to bleed, so we applied IPA. A neighbor suggested it could be a blood blister. Dexter was groomed recently and had no ticks or noticeable bumps then. He also gets monthly flea and tick preventative meds and takes Tramadol and Carbomethal for degenerative spine issues. What do you think it is and how can we treat it?

My 7-month-old dog has been experiencing diarrhea and now soft stools, possibly due to stress from camping, dietary changes, and suspected chicken allergy. What could be causing this and what steps should I take to address it?

My 12-week-old dog, Timby, ate a relatively large, open staple from a staple gun. I'm concerned about potential complications and whether this could be fatal. What should I do?

My 8-week-old puppy, Bunker, ate a laxative (Surfak) 15 minutes ago. He is tiny, weighing only 2 lbs, and did not eat the whole pill, just about 3/4 of an 8.6 mg Sennosides pill. What should I do, and will he be okay?

Our six-year-old border collie, Roxy, who wears a brace for an ACL tear, has been experiencing bouts of pain, increased water intake and urination, and behavioral changes such as pacing and decreased play. She has been eating and pooping fine, and there is no apparent discomfort when her bad leg is touched. What could be causing these symptoms and what tests should be conducted to diagnose the issue?

My corgi is in labor and has had a tail of a puppy out for about an hour. The placenta broke a long time ago, so I'm sure it is dead. We are trying to get it out. We are too far from a vet's office, over 100 miles away. She is a very small corgi. What should I do?
