I have been running with my 5-year-old German Shorthaired Chocolate Lab mix, Gidget. She suddenly started limping, and after a few days of rest, she seemed eager to run again. However, after resuming with shorter, slower runs, her condition has worsened, showing difficulty in getting up and down. She temporarily improves with activity but becomes stiff and sore again after resting. Should I take her in for X-rays or further examination?

My 50 lbs dog ate less than a handful of rat poison. Will he be okay? What should I do?

My dog, Cooper, is 80 lbs and hasn't eaten today. He's not lethargic and has had more exercise this past week playing with my other dog than usual. It's been about a half hour since his last heave. What should I do?

My Maltese got into some road tar and I used mineral spirits to remove it, causing skin irritation and panting. We washed and rinsed her thoroughly. Is there anything we should be doing to relieve the skin irritation and avoid further issues?

My rabbit has a quarter-sized black scab with flaky edges and a pea-sized bump. When gently squeezed, no black larva came out, just a little blood. What could this be?
