I have a very large foster dog named Val, who is 9 years old and weighs 80 lbs. She had a tumor removed from her front knee joint area, but the stitches keep coming out. The rescue vet said they couldn't sedate her again to fix it. Is there a way to immobilize her leg after staples or sutures so it can heal?

My dog has a cut under her eye that seems to be causing redness and discharge, which doesn't seem to be healing fully despite wiping around her eye. I think she might be scratching it when no one is watching. How can I help her?

My puppy, a German Shepherd mix named Luke, started vomiting and I found a piece of glass in it. There is no blood, but he has vomited 6 times. He is active, happy, and his poop is normal. We know the glass came from a broken candle we cleaned up, and he might have ingested it. He stopped vomiting at the vet yesterday and has not vomited since. He is drinking water and eating. What should we do to ensure he didn't have any glass in his system?

I have a 2-year-old Shar Pei named Daisy who has been vomiting for the last two days. She was given omeprazole for possible acid reflux, but her vomiting has not improved. She has no appetite, vomits after eating, drinks a lot of water, and seems more tired than usual. She has all her vaccines and is up to date on everything. What could be causing her vomiting and what should I do?
