My 16-pound miniature pinscher/chihuahua mix, Benji, is just over a year old and has been experiencing lethargy, pain, and swelling on the left side of his mouth/jaw. He has difficulty opening his mouth and yawning, and his third eyelid is showing due to pain and inflammation. He has been to the vet twice, received anti-nausea shots, morphine, and pain medication.

How much does this service cost? My 8-year-old male Havanese, Andy, has developed howling, crying, and scratching the door since moving to an apartment 8 months ago. He has not shown signs of pain but his behavior is worsening. He last saw a vet 2 months ago and is not on any medications. I am considering asking for sertraline for him. What should I do?

My dog, Penny, a 7-month-old beagle, stole a disinfectant wipe from the garbage about 20 minutes ago. My husband managed to get all the pieces out of her mouth, but we want to ensure she's okay. She last saw the vet yesterday for contact dermatitis and is on Simparica Trio monthly. Is there any concern about her ingesting the wipe?

My dog, River, a 3-year-old 16 lb Maltese mix, has a nail bed infection on his back left paw that has been inflamed for a month. It has recently worsened and started bleeding due to him gnawing on it. Do I need to take him to an emergency vet tonight, or can I wait until the morning?

My 8lb chihuahua ate a large piece of cubed cheese about 20 minutes ago and is acting uncomfortable. She's breathing but whines when picked up. She hasn't vomited yet. What should I do?
