My 3-year-old Mastiff mix, Aurora, is limping on her back leg after playing hard with a new dog friend. She seems to improve slightly with leash walking, but shows clear signs of pain when trying to stand or sit. She is eating, drinking, and has no visible hot spots or tenderness. Should I take her to an emergency vet, or can I manage her condition with restricted activity until our regular vet appointment on Tuesday?

My 14-year-old Maltese, Bianca, has been growing a pink-colored pad on her foot for about 2 months. The pad continues to get bigger, but it doesn't seem to bother her, and she doesn't react when I touch or wiggle it. She hasn't seen a vet in a year and isn't on any medications. What could this be, and what should I do?

My 85-pound, 8-year-old mixed breed dog just ate the absorbent pad on the bottom of raw chicken. What do I need to do?

My dog, Adolf, a 3-year-old German Shepherd, is bleeding from his penis and has diarrhea. We recently traveled to the US and changed his food. He has all his shots, including a rabies shot. What could be causing these symptoms and what should I do?

Hi. I think my dog may have been bitten by a snake. I just came home. His snout is swollen and there are tiny droplets of blood. I was gone for about an hour. The blood was fresh but it was really small. My dog's name is Grizzly, he's a 7-year-old black lab. I gave him Benadryl (3 tablets of 25 milligrams each). What should I do?

My Chihuahua, Darty, has been sniffling, coughing, and wheezing for 3 days. The wheezing is pretty constant, with breaks every half hour for about 5-10 minutes. Darty is 5 years old and just had his vaccinations and started medication on Tuesday. He has also been 'fly biting' for a couple of months, which is why we originally took him to the vet on Tuesday. What could be causing these symptoms and what can I do to help him?
