While getting my senior dog (a shepherd border collie mix, aged 12) groomed, a lump (external, round, and skin-toned) was found on her belly. It bled when shaved and while it doesn't bother her, I'm concerned about what it could be. I've applied fucidin and cleaned the area with antibacterial soap. What other suggestions do you have, and what could this lump potentially be?

My 20-lb shih-tzu/yorkie mix ate approximately 6oz of Wilton Candy Melts (in black, white, and green). She has vomited three times, with the vomit containing chunks of the candy melt and being slimy. Her stomach feels bloated. Should I be worried? Should I take her to the vet? It's a Sunday afternoon.

My female dog, Maggie, who is about 7 years old and never spayed, has a noticeable sack-like growth on her lower abdomen, more towards her back legs. The growth feels loose and separate from her body, and it doesn't seem to cause her pain. What could this growth be, and what should I do?

I have an 11-year-old Wheaten Terrier who has developed Vestibular Disease. She still eats and goes to the bathroom. She hesitates walking down steps but still goes up steps fine. Her head tilts and she stumbles getting down from the sofa. What can I do to make her more comfortable?

Is it necessary to have a bladder stone removed from my 8-year-old spayed Malti-Poo, Daisy, who weighs 25 lbs?
