My 2-year-old dog, Rylee, has a large swelling on the right side of her throat and is less active. She is eating but seems uncomfortable, especially when trying to eat or drink. The hospital was stumped as X-rays were fine, and urine tests were normal. The blood work shows mild anemia and increased NEU, but the total white blood count is normal. What could be causing the swelling and her discomfort?

My dog, Elsa, was attacked by a pit bull earlier today. She has two small bite wounds, one of which is now showing yellow thick stuff, possibly pus. She has been lethargic, not eating or drinking, and has a red eye with yellow discharge. Her nose also bled initially. What should I do to treat her wounds and should I take her to the vet?

Hi, I have a Pekingese named Katana who is 3 years old. Over the last 3 days, she has been experiencing pain in her lower back, crying when touched, and shivering when held. She also stopped walking during a recent walk and had to be carried. She eats well, her nose is wet, and she has not been licking or rubbing any specific areas other than her feet and nose. What can I do?
