My male dog, Tech, has bruising on both sides of his underbelly near his testicles, which I noticed last week. He mated with my female dog about a month ago, and I'm unsure if the bruising is related. Additionally, he has a pimple-like lump that doesn't pop and has been present for years. He also has trouble getting up, indicating back pain. What could be causing these issues, and what should I do?

My dog, Yurie, is being aggressive towards male house guests. He has been fine with my husband and me but starts barking and growling every time he sees other men in the house. We just noticed this behavior because we have friends staying with us, and we just got him a month ago from a rescue. He is 1 year old. We have tried keeping him on a leash, making him sit, and putting our hand over his snout while saying 'quiet,' but it hasn’t helped much. He is also snapping at the guests. What can we do to address this behavior?

My dog, Walter, an 11-month-old weighing 41 lbs, ate 4 cigarettes about 30 minutes ago. I've administered 8ml of hydrogen peroxide to induce vomiting, but he hasn't vomited yet. What should I do next, and what symptoms should I look for regarding potential nicotine toxicity?

My German Shorthair Pointer drank Lysol toilet bowl cleaner from the toilet bowl. The dog weighs about 58 lb and is 7 years old named Drummond. He has not vomited since the incident, which happened about 20-30 minutes ago. I gave him a slice of bread and he drank some water afterward. He acts fairly normal otherwise. What should I do?

My Newfoundland, Carver, chipped the tip of his canine tooth after hitting it on the side of my desk. He's drooling and licking his lips. Is there anything I can do until I can call the vet in the morning?
