My 15-year-old dog, Dillinger, is bleeding severely from his behind and has large red bumps. He is too heavy to pick up and take to the vet. What can be done to help him at home, and is it necessary to take him to the vet despite his age?

My 11-year-old Chihuahua/Yorkie named Cocoa is vomiting, has an enlarged heart, and is on medication (Vetmedin, Lasix, and Enalapril). She has vomited about 4-5 times today and had loose stool yesterday. She hasn't eaten today but is drinking water. What could be causing her vomiting and what should I do to help her?

My chihuahua, Bane, chewed and swallowed a piece of toothpick. He weighs 7 pounds and ate a little under half of the toothpick 30 minutes ago. Is there anything I need to do?

My 5-month-old puppy, Bowie, may have eaten a cigarette. He has shown no signs of vomiting, fatigue, or neurological symptoms since then. What should I do?

My dog, Bodhi, a 6-year-old, has a discolored nail that started a month ago. I'm concerned if it's something that requires a vet appointment or if it's just a bruise. The discoloration has changed over time, and there was initially a scab-like mark above it that has since gone away. The area doesn't appear swollen, and Bodhi doesn't seem to be in discomfort when the area is squeezed. Bodhi has a history of tumors, so I want to ensure this discoloration isn't related to that.

My boyfriend had chewing tobacco and spit it out in the yard, and my dog, Piper, a 3-year-old 55-pound dog, was around the area. We are unsure if she ate it, but we can't find any on the ground. Should I bring her to an emergency vet?
