My 9-year-old Maltese mix, weighing 20 pounds, has been diagnosed with lymphoma and has several lumps in nodes around her body. She has been on Prednisone and Omeprazole for 6 days. The lumps haven't gone down, and she seems to alternate between having energy and being lethargic. Is she in pain, and are the lumps supposed to decrease with the current medication? Should I consider increasing the dosage or seeking an oncologist for staging?

My dog has 4 marble-sized nodules above his rectum under his tail. He has been sitting and spinning on the carpet lately, and the nodules appear to be agitated or raw. What could these nodules be, and are they treatable or terminal?

My 8-month-old puppy ate parts of a yucca tree, which I believe is poisonous to dogs. The puppy vomited once yesterday and has stopped eating, becoming lethargic. The puppy was tested for cat flu and biliary, with negative results. What should I do?

My 2.5-year-old Great Dane, Penelope, is acting lethargic and wobbly since we got home at 5pm. She hasn't eaten since then, which isn't necessarily unusual for her. She was outside going potty at lunch and sometimes runs over to see the neighbors, but we asked and they didn't give her anything or see her eat anything. After lunch, she was locked in her kennel until we got home, and nothing seems out of the ordinary in there. She's also acting a little spooked, but she's scared of everything on a normal day, so I'm not sure if that has anything to do with it or not. What could be causing her symptoms and what should I do?

My dog, Charlie, a 6-year-old Golden Doodle, threw up twice this evening, containing grass, boiled chicken, and some liquid. He also experienced body shaking after the first episode. What could be causing this and what should I do?

I have a 13-year-old Westie named Chuch who is experiencing rectal bleeding for the past two days. There is some blood in his feces, but no dripping blood. He is eating well, urinating normally, and has playful moments. What could be causing this and what should I do?
