Is it okay to give my 6 lb Pomeranian a baby aspirin until I can take her to my vet that’s closed? I think she has a toothache and has been sneezing loudly and trying to clear her throat. I don’t want her to suffer all weekend and I read that I could give her a baby aspirin as long as it wasn’t Tylenol or ibuprofen.

I have a dog that has a lump on her elbow. What could it be and what should I do?

I accidentally nicked my dog's anus while grooming her. She is bothered by it, scooting and licking the area. I have cleaned it and applied antibiotic ointment. I tried putting on a pair of underwear to cover the wound but she wouldn't walk. What else should I do to help her heal and be more comfortable?

My 8-year-old Boston terrier mix with French bulldogs has had small intestine diarrhea for over a week. He's on hypoallergenic food, has been tested for parasites (negative), and is currently on metronidazole and probiotics. What could be causing his diarrhea, and is he at risk of nutrient deficiency?

My dog, Xena, has an open laceration on her back that is about 1/2 inch long. I've cleaned it and dressed it, but I'm unsure whether to make a normal vet appointment or take her to the emergency vet. The wound doesn't bleed badly, and it happened about two hours ago. Xena is 2 years old, fixed, and up to date on her shots. Should I wait until Monday for a regular appointment, or should I take her to the emergency vet?

I am worried about my Teacup Maltese, Bean, who had surgery on Monday. Last night, we noticed his post-neutering incision looked slightly open. He had pain medication for the first three days and is 6 months old. Is there anything we should be concerned about, and do we still need to keep the cone on?
