My 8-year-old rottweiler injured his back leg joint from a bad landing after a jump, causing swelling. He has been biting into the swelling, causing broken skin. What can I do to treat the wound and reduce the swelling, especially since we currently do not have access to a vet?

My dog, Goldie, a 2-year-old weighing about 72 pounds, just ate a half loaf of garlic French bread wrapped in plastic about 10 minutes ago. She hasn't vomited and seems normal. The bread also had butter. How much garlic was in the butter, and what should I do about the plastic?

I have a 4-month-old female French Bulldog named Izzy who has a complex fracture to her right elbow. It was recommended to take her to a specialist for surgical repair. Would it benefit her to get the leg amputated?

My dog, Ruger, who is almost 2 years old, has been pooping more frequently and in his kennel, which he never did before. This has been going on for two days. His stool is soft and mushy, not solid, and he has had a little bit of red in his stool. He last saw a vet a month ago and has been taking Benadryl for allergies. What could be causing this and what should I do?

My dog, Sweet Pea, is acting unusually tired and sleeping more than usual, often on the floor or in her dog bed away from us. She is less responsive and playful. She was at dog day care yesterday and had a fight with a new dog. She ate her dinner and drank some water from a rain puddle. What could be causing her behavior and what should I do?

My dog, Gunner, a 7-year-old German Shepherd, is groaning and straining to poop, with only mucus coming out. He vomited water last night after drinking a lot, but otherwise has pink gums, is drinking water, and has a normal energy level despite being tired from frequent potty trips. He has no known underlying medical issues and only takes calming treats occasionally. What could be causing this and what should I do?
