My 7-month-old goldendoodle puppy, Hawkeye, has a lump on his face under his ear, next to his eye. The lump is swollen to the size of a golf ball, red, and fluctuates in size. It first appeared 3 days ago and became larger after boarding. This morning, it felt softer and smaller, but it swelled again after lunch. What could this lump be, and what should I do about it?

My small dog, Maggie, age 2, jumped off a high bed and immediately started having breathing problems. She seems okay now but is groaning occasionally, like she's in pain. What should I do?

Our dogs have red scabs all over and are constantly itching to the point of losing fur. We live in the bush, but we can't see any ticks, fleas, or mites on them. We give them a weekly bath, flea and tick spray, and recently eucalyptus essential oil topically. Nothing is working. What is the likely cause of this and solution?

Our Australian Cattle dog, Lilly, age 10, acts like she has vertigo but no head tilt. Eyes are focused, no sign of pain, eating and drinking fine. When she sits or stands, she rocks left to right and rear legs occasionally give out. When she walks, her gait shifts left to right. Four days ago, she fell down three stairs but landed sitting upright. What could be causing these symptoms, and what should we do?

My dog has a large, ulcerated, softball-sized tumor near her pelvic bone. After removing this tumor, will the wound be able to heal, or will it create a bigger wound that won't heal?
