My dog, Rollo, was bitten in the face by another dog two days ago and required several sets of stitches. One cut has opened along the side of the stitches. My vet is closed for the weekend, and I am reluctant to take him to an emergency vet because my dog aggresses when poked with needles. My vet is fear-free and knows what to do. Is this something that can wait until she is open again on Monday?

My 8-year-old Cocker Spaniel mix named Pandy has been randomly yelping in pain, mainly when we touch the intersection of his front right paw or when he walks. We've checked his paw and found no cuts, bumps, or thorns. What could be causing his pain, and what can we do to help him?

My dog has been having diarrhea with blood every other hour since yesterday. She is a little lethargic and has a poor appetite. Should I take her to the emergency vet?

My dog, Milo, has had diarrhea for 4 days. I've tried boiled chicken and rice and Pepto-Bismol, but there's been no improvement. Milo didn't eat anything unusual recently, and he's about 10 years old. What should I do to help him?

My dog, Indy, a 3-year-old, got hit in the head with a softball about half an hour ago. She won't open her eyes fully, can't get comfortable, and her second eyelid only opens halfway on the uninjured eye, while the injured eye looks bloodshot. She also seems exhausted. Is she concussed or is there a more serious injury like an orbital fracture? What immediate steps should I take?
