My 2-year-old dog, Zeus, has a growth on his eyelid that has grown larger and is red underneath, looking almost like a whitehead. I first noticed it on July 3rd and tried Benadryl without success. What could this be, and is there anything I can do in the meantime until I can get him to the vet?

My dog suddenly started limping, licking his paw, and won't put any weight on his foot. I don't see any visible abrasions, breaks, or swelling. What could be causing this and what should I do?

My 36-pound dog ate one piece of See's chocolate, which was a dark chocolate shell with a creamy center. Should I be worried or bring him in?

I just got my 6-month-old dog, Sal, neutered on Monday. I’m worried his incision may be infected despite using a cone and keeping him calm. The incision looks redder than before, and there’s a little bit of dry blood. He’s on carprofen, gabapentin, and trazodone, which make him drowsy but he still gets excited and tries to jump. What should I do, and are there any signs of infection that would require immediate attention?

My dog, Autumn, an Aussador, has been scooting and licking her butt. She had a similar issue last year with an infected anal gland that swelled and ruptured. There is no obvious swelling or discharge now, and her stool is normal. What can I do to prevent an infection?

I found a lump on the side of my 5-month-old dog, Waldo. The lump is soft and covered by fur. It's located behind his right front paw and doesn't seem to be getting larger. Waldo is otherwise active and has no history of trauma or other medical problems. What could this lump be and what should I do?
