My 6-month-old mixed breed dog, Lacey, is limping on her rear right leg. She has a lump that doesn't hurt to the touch, and the limping started two weeks ago. The vet suggested an X-ray for $450, which is expensive for us. What could be causing the limp, and are there any alternative treatments or ways to manage the situation without the X-ray?

My dog ate a protein chocolate pancake made from Kodiak Cakes Double Chocolate Mix. He weighs 20 lbs, is 7 years old, and has not vomited since consuming it about five hours ago. What should I do, and how should I monitor him for potential chocolate toxicity symptoms?

I have an adult male schnauzer named Max who has a cut on his snout under his left eye. The cut is swollen, crusted over, and contains both blood and pus. He is not allowing us to touch the area, and it doesn't seem to be improving despite warm compresses and Neosporin application for two days. The other schnauzer in the household may be contributing to the issue by licking the wound. Max also appears more tired than usual. What should I do to help Max until we can see a vet mid-week?

My 6-month-old Staffordshire Terrier mix, Freya, ate half a roll of cardboard from a paper towel roll 3 days ago. I induced vomiting with 3% hydrogen peroxide (1 tsp per 10lbs of body weight) 30 minutes after she ate it, and saw the cardboard in her vomit. Since then, she has vomited once a day. She is currently on medication for a UTI and has taken this medication before without issues. She is fully up to date on vaccinations. What could be causing her continued vomiting and what should I do?
