My 9.5-year-old Maltese, Jaxson, has been randomly yelping/crying out of nowhere, especially when moving or changing positions.

My 10-year-old Mini Schnauzer, Peggy, has been avoiding putting pressure on one of her hind legs for 3 weeks. She mainly hops on three limbs unless she sees another dog, in which case she runs and jumps around normally for a few seconds. She is eating a little less and can move around easily on three legs, including up and down stairs. The vet couldn't find anything obvious during the last visit and suggested an X-ray as the next step. What could be causing this issue and what should I do next?

My German Shepherd, Gyda, ingested some nicotine vape juice. She is 60 lbs and 6.5 months old. I don't think she ingested much, as the bottle didn't appear punctured but the lid was off. She was last seen running around at 9:20. What should I do and what symptoms should I watch for?
