My dog, Mocha, a 13-year-old Chihuahua mix, has been limping on his right back leg. He has had a firm bump on that leg for a few months, which doesn't seem to bother him when touched, but he is uncomfortable when sleeping and whines. His appetite and bathroom habits are normal, and he is not on any medications. What could be causing the limp, and what should I do in the meantime while waiting for a vet appointment?

I accidentally gave my 17-pound terrier medication meant for my 60-pound lab. The terrier was supposed to get one 0.1mg pill of Soloxine but received one and a half 0.7mg pills instead. She also accidentally got a 75mg Tramadol. Should I go to the emergency vet?
