My pet, a 2.5-year-old Shepherd named Tyson, has been hesitant to eat regular food like egg mixed in rice and milk for the past 3 days. He only eats non-regular food. He doesn't drink much water and hasn't seen a vet in over a year. What could be causing this and what should I do?

My dog, a 9-month-old Lab Bloodhound weighing 80 pounds, chewed up and possibly ate about 10 shredded diapers an hour ago. What should I do to ensure she doesn't suffer any adverse effects, and how can I monitor her condition?

My dog, Jada, had surgery almost 3 weeks ago. Her spay site has two small, squishy bumps sticking out of it. She hasn't been licking or rubbing the bumps. What could these bumps be, and should I be concerned?
