My 7-year-old dog, Benji, has developed a pinkish-brownish bump on his skin. He was previously itching a lot due to skin allergies, but the itching has significantly reduced. The bump bled a little when he was itching intensely. Should we monitor the bump for changes in size or color before visiting the vet, or should we get it checked out immediately? Is there a correlation between the itching and the bump, or did they just occur at the same time?

The bump on Benji's skin does not appear to be related to his allergies and does not seem concerning...

My Shih Tzu, Hannah, has been regurgitating her food for four days, including rice and chicken. She has been exposed to commercial-strength weed killer and spent time in the hot sun. She is still active and playful but is not getting nutrients. What should I do in the meantime while waiting for urgent care?

My dog, Theo, a 4-year-old mostly poodle with a little Australian Shepherd, has had blood in his stool for a week. He vomited once today, has no appetite but normal thirst, and lower energy. He ate a steak bone two weeks ago and has been on the same raw diet for a long time. He is vaccinated, has a good health history, and is not on any medications. What could be causing this and what should I do?

My dog, Sky, aged 8, has recently had blood in her urine and is licking herself more than usual. She seems fine otherwise, maybe a little tired but not significantly. There hasn't been an unusual smell, and I just noticed the blood now. What should I do?
