My dog has a swollen paw, cries when you touch it or move her whole arm. She is panting like she's in the heat but is an indoor/outdoor dog. Not sure what happened or what should I do?

We have taken our dog to the vet twice due to lethargy, whining, loss of appetite, and lack of thirst. She has been taking prescribed medications (Tramadol, methocarbamol, and carprofen) for several days with no results. We initially thought she was injured after being rolled by a larger dog, but lab work showed no signs of infection, and her temperature is 100.5°F. We found a dark-colored tick on her earlier in the week, and she has ataxia. What additional tests or considerations should we discuss with our vet?

My 14.5-year-old cocker spaniel has a confirmed plasmacytoma on her leg and an unidentified tumor on her tongue. If the tongue tumor is another plasmacytoma and there's no systemic spread, what's the prognosis if I choose not to surgically remove it? Are oral plasmacytomas benign or malignant?

My 4-year-old Border Collie seems to be in pain. She is usually very active but is now lethargic, walks slowly, and shows no interest in chasing squirrels or deer. Her stomach feels tight and may be bloated. We have been giving her Chlortabs for itching. What could be causing her discomfort and what should I do?

Our 13-year-old, 65-pound dog has been experiencing increased water intake and has started to pee on the carpet, which he has never done before. There is no smell when he urinates. What could be causing this and what should we do?
