My dog, Murphy, is lying with his front down and butt in the air while trying to stretch. He recently had an ear infection and is allergic to pollen. What could be causing this behavior and what should I be aware of?

My 4 1/2-year-old pit/lab mix, Griffin, has been lethargic, sad, not wanting to eat or drink, and drooling for about 4 days. He had a low-grade fever (103.4) and was given subcutaneous fluids at the vet. His stomach was not painful, and no significant masses or bug bites were found. His urine was concentrated with a bit of blood, and his liver and kidney enzymes were normal. His WBCs were slightly elevated with elevated neutrophils. His throat feels swollen, and he whimpers when palpated. What could be causing these symptoms, and what should be done next?

My 35 lb basset hound named Peri, who is 12 years old and in good health, ate a 145mcg Linzess pill. She didn't eat the actual capsule but consumed the medicine inside. Do I need to do anything?

I came home and found a bottle of Benadryl on the floor. I don't remember how full it was. My three dogs (Molly, Maddie, and Coco, aged 13, 14, and 15) seem fine, but I'm unsure if they ate any. Should I take them to a vet or wait and see?

I noticed a semi-soft and slightly movable lump on my dog’s left armpit and another smaller one on her side last November. After a needle aspirate, they were confirmed as fat cells. Now, five months later, I found two more similar lumps, one near her left armpit and another on her belly. Are these lumps located in the axillary and inguinal lymph nodes, and can a needle aspirate distinguish between a lipoma and a sarcoma?
