I want to have my dog's hips tested before breeding her, and I also want to encourage the sire's owner to have his hips tested. Where is the nearest location for testing, and is sedation necessary for the OFA hip radiographs?

I have a bullmastiff diagnosed with bone cancer in August 2019. The cancer has progressed rapidly, causing swelling, cysts, and ulceration in her leg. She is on pain meds, an anti-inflammatory, and an antibiotic. The wound is cleaned with an antiseptic, but she keeps ripping off the bandage, causing further damage. What additional steps can I take to manage her condition and improve her quality of life?

My dog, Axl, a 6-month-old weighing just under 10 lbs, chewed up and possibly swallowed a couple of tiny, jagged pieces from a small plastic car. Should I induce vomiting, and is there anything else I should do to help the pieces pass safely?

My puppy, Frankie, is limping, shaking, whimpering, and lethargic. He just had his first round of shots last Friday and had heartworm and flea and tick medication. He may have eaten something outside, possibly his own feces, and was wrestled with by my other big dogs. What could be causing his symptoms, and what should I do?

My Ambilobe Panther Chameleon, Cameron, who is 1 1/2 years old, has not been opening his left eye for about two weeks. I found a hair in it a week ago, removed it, and gave him a steam shower, which allowed him to open his eye briefly. However, the next day, he wasn't opening it at all, and his eyelid is now damaged from rubbing against his jungle vines. What should I do to help his eye?
