Lola has cancer in her back left leg and needs amputation. She has been limping since November 2018 and was recently diagnosed. X-rays showed a slightly enlarged liver, but blood work was normal. Parts of her leg bone are missing, and a tumor is growing. I read that bone cancer is aggressive and usually metastasizes within 2 months. Is this true? Also, I read that if the leg is amputated and chemotherapy is done, she might live for a year. Is this true? If chemotherapy is not done, she might live for 2-3 months. Is this true? I'm trying to make the best decision for her.

I have a 12-year-old schnauzer. I fed her at 4:30 pm but forgot to give her the evening dose of insulin. I gave it to her at 7:00 pm. Should I be worried?

One or two of my dogs ate approximately 4-5 Dermamax pills. Both dogs weigh approximately 85 pounds and are acting fine. I don't know how many pills were in the container, nor do I know if only one ate them or both. What should I do to ensure their safety and what are the potential risks if I don't induce vomiting?

My 10-year-old mixed-breed dog, Lucy, has been coughing severely for four days, sounding like a human with bronchitis. She has had this cough before but never this bad. What could be causing this and what should I do?
