My 4-year-old male dog had surgery to get fixed on Wednesday. Today, there is significant swelling in the scrotum, which is also red, and he had a little diarrhea tonight. Our regular vet is closed until Monday. Is this level of swelling and redness normal post-surgery, and should we take him to the emergency room, or is it safe to monitor him at home with icing and possibly using a jock strap for support?

Post-surgery swelling in the scrotum is not uncommon, especially if the neutering was performed late...

My dog, Bear, is making coughing noises. He is 10 years old and has no recent contact with other dogs. He is eating and drinking normally. What should I do?

My 3-month-old puppy, who has always been smaller than her littermates, has worms, vomiting, diarrhea, weight loss, and a fever. She is lethargic and hasn't had any shots yet. What should I do?

I have a 1 1/2 month old puppy named Kobe who is not moving and has his mouth clamped shut. He was fine yesterday but today he is breathing but won't move and his mouth appears locked up. What could be causing this and what should I do?

My 14-year-old dog, Hailey, has very weak hind quarters and can't squat to pee. She poops while walking outside but has accidents at night in a confined space. She has little to no 'spark of life' and is on mild pain medication. We can't afford lab tests and are considering a peaceful end for her. How do we know when it's time, and how is the process handled?

My dog, Reign, suddenly started standing stiffly, not moving, crying occasionally as if in pain, shaking a bit, and holding her head up with her nose to the sky, appearing sleepy. She is resisting movement and tensing up when I try to move her. She has a scab on her neck and is on a farm with horses and another dog. What could be causing this and what should I do?
