My 11.5-year-old Bernese Mountain Dog, Lotti, has an unusual sudden swelling in one hind leg with no injury or tumor, normal blood markers, and a high fever that has come down to 103. She is eating well and showing good vital signs except for an accelerated heart rate. She has been tested for Lyme disease and is negative. What could be causing this swelling, and what should I look for or do next?

I have a 5 and a half month old Golden Retriever named Chester who had his right arm amputated at the shoulder at 3 weeks old. Recently, we noticed a fluid buildup mixed with blood in the amputation area. My husband has been draining it daily, removing about 18 to 24 cc's, and giving him Amoxicillin. Is there anything else we can do to prevent this or should we take him to the vet?

I just got a 6-week-old puppy named Lilly. When I picked her up, I noticed she wasn't wanting to bear weight on her front leg. She will put some weight on it but then quickly picks it up. She let me feel and didn't make any noises like it hurt. What could be the issue and what should I be aware of?

My dog, Monty, an 8-year-old German Shepherd, had a cruciate operation on Thursday. The wound is red but clean, and he won't eat anything other than steak. I've given him antibiotics, but the pain killer needs to be taken with food, and I don't think he's eaten much. I also have tramadol. What should I do?
