My 16-year-old, 55 lb (25 kg) Shepherd/Husky mix with controlled chronic pancreatitis has a large laceration in his upper armpit area. He is in pain, has trouble getting up and down, and is not drinking water. I have given him Tramadol for pain, but I'm unsure of the correct dosage. What is the maximum safe dose for him, and how should I manage his pain and bleeding until I can take him to the vet in the morning?

Our dog got kicked in the head by a horse, causing a collapsed nasal cavity and a definite skull fracture. One eye socket was pushed back. The dog seems a bit better this morning, but can anything be done to help her?

Our dog has been suffering from a worsening condition that started with a scraped nose and spread to his ears, eyes, and feet. The vet initially treated him for allergies, but the condition has not improved. We have switched to a grain-free diet and are using antibacterial ointment, but the problem persists. We cannot afford another vet visit and need advice on how to proceed.

My 1-year-old French Bulldog has multiple lumps under the skin on her back and sides, some of which are seeping a light pinkish fluid with a bad odor. What could this be and what should I do?

My dog has been vomiting, initially with food and then with mucus. She is laying down and stands up just before she vomits, and shakes like she's cold. What could be the cause and what can I do to help her?
