My dog's eyelid is swollen from a fight with another dog. It happened a couple of hours ago and is now starting to swell. What can I do for her until I can get her to the vet? There doesn't seem to be anything wrong with the eye itself, just the eyelid.

My dog got into my trash and ate part of an empty tube of Lotrimin, which contains 1 percent clotrimazole. She weighs 38 pounds and is acting normal. What should I do?

I think my 2-year-old Westie has ADD. Is this possible? This is my 4th Westie, and I know their behavior well, but have never experienced a dog with this aggression and 'crankiness' before in this breed.

I have a six-year-old mini schnauzer named Jax who has been coughing again, mostly when laying down, and licking his feet and lips excessively. His gums are tacky but he's not dehydrated, and he's acting 110% normal otherwise. Should I take him to an unfamiliar vet now, or wait until I can see our regular vet on the 26th?

I am having second thoughts about putting my 9-year-old dog to sleep after he was diagnosed with severe anemia, possibly due to babesiosis or immune-mediated anemia. Despite multiple blood transfusions and treatments, his condition worsened. I am feeling intense guilt and wondering if I made the right decision or if there was more I could have done. Could his condition have been caused by a ruptured spleen due to a previous trauma?
