My Shih Tzu gets 'sore' and won't go to the bathroom after going to the groomer. He has been biting at his hind end and hasn't had a bowel movement in two days. I thought it might be due to having his anal glands cleaned, but even after asking the groomer not to do this, the issue persists. He just had a clean bill of health at the vet and is usually a happy dog, but this seems to happen every time he is groomed. Do you have any insights?

I have just adopted a 6-year-old dog named Max who isn't up to date on shots and got into a fight with a raccoon. Can I get her a rabies shot tomorrow, and will it work to prevent anything if the raccoon had rabies? Additionally, she is limping from a scratch and acting normal except for putting weight on the leg.

I have a ten-month-old Great Dane named Pancake. His back right ankle is swollen, and he is not walking on all fours. He is not whining or crying when we touch it, but he is wagging his tail and otherwise seems content. What should I do for him?

I found a small lump near my 13-month-old Bernese Mountain Dog's elbow. It's smaller than pea-sized and moves with the skin. Is this cause for concern, and should I see a vet?
