My 12-year-old Labrador mix named Snoop has a bleeding toenail, possibly from stubbing his toe. He has Cushing’s Disease and some mobility issues. The bleeding has been controlled with cornstarch, but I'm concerned about transporting him to a vet due to his weight and mobility. Should I wait until Monday for a mobile vet to come to the house, and what signs of infection should I watch for?

My 14-15-year-old male mixed rescue dog, who had a splenectomy 2 years ago due to a large benign tumor, has a large tumor/growth on his left front upper leg that has formed an abscess after being scratched. He is weak in his back legs and on tramadol, flagyl, benadryl, and gabapentin. We are concerned about the infection and his quality of life. Does the tumor look infected, and would antibiotics help? Also, considering his condition, would you advise having him put to sleep?

My yorkpoo, Daisy, takes gabapentin in capsule form (opened and mixed with water). Our vet prescribed the liquid gabapentin because it's easier to give to my dog. However, the liquid form didn't work as effectively as the capsules, and Daisy is still shaking and crying after 2 hours. Can I give her her normal capsule even though it's been about 2 hours?
