My 15-year-old Chow, Ping Ping, has two large tumors near his rectum, loss of motion in his hind legs, and is not eating. He is very fatigued and frequently whines when not sleeping.

My five-month-old goldendoodle was chasing oleander pollen around 12:30. I’m not sure if he ingested any because they were blowing around. He isn’t exhibiting any symptoms. No vomiting, diarrhea, or excessive drooling. He’s about 45 pounds and acting normal. What should I do?

I have a 3-week-old American Bully puppy named Sheba who has green mucus coming from her nose and sometimes a milky mucus from her mouth and nose when she drinks. She has been having trouble breathing, especially when lying down, and her breathing becomes labored when the mucus is present. She isn't coughing but her breathing is raspy. What can I do to help her until I can get her to a vet?

My dog has been taking omeprazole 20mg time-release (1/day) for four months due to digestive issues caused by a chicken protein allergy. Since switching to food without chicken, the digestive issues have resolved. Should I taper the omeprazole gradually to avoid a rebound gastric acid effect, and if so, how should I do it?

My 1-year-old dog, Okley, a puggle, tore a few claws while playing yesterday. She bled a little, but I cleaned it up and it looks good now. What can I give her for pain?
