My 18-month-old rottweiler, Amber, has 2 swollen lower nipples. She recently had two puppies and allowed them to suckle for a few minutes. She's not complaining but has been off her food, which suggests discomfort. What can I do for her over the weekend before taking her to the vet on Monday?

Our border terrier, Cruiser, is taking cefpodoxime 50mg for a lick granuloma. He has vomited the last two mornings and it's difficult to get him to eat. I don't want to give him cefpodoxime on an empty stomach. Would Pepto Bismol improve his appetite? Additionally, Cruiser has a flat, subcutaneous, semisolid structure on his foot that may be causing irritation, leading to excessive licking and chewing. Dead skin is peeling off and stuck in his fur over a larger area than the previous infection. Is this normal, and does it suggest a secondary fungus infection?

My dog Gucci has elevated calcium levels in her blood results. My vet is concerned and has taken X-rays, which did not show any tumors. What could be causing the elevated calcium levels, and what further tests or specialist consultations should I consider?

My 8-month-old Cairn Terrier, Makaira, chewed the top off a small tube of Aveda stress-fix body lotion before I could stop her. If she consumed some of the lotion, will it hurt her?

My dog, Bixby, a 20 lbs, 8-year-old Maltese Yorkie mix, was recently diagnosed with Cushing's and started on 30mg of medication 8 days ago. He was still drinking a lot and shaking, so the vet advised stopping the medication and scheduled an appointment. Today, he seems almost blind. What should I do?
