My Chihuahua, Oreo, is limping and whines when picked up, especially around his left front leg where it meets his body. He is a fat Chihuahua, 7 years old, and has been limping for 3 days.

My dog, Patches, a 18-month-old mixed breed, is lethargic and not eating during our vacation. He has been playful and healthy, but yesterday he showed a decreased appetite and vomited a little yellow bile. He has been on a hydrolyzed protein kibble for possible allergies and has had soft stools with mucus. We gave him some table food like cold cut ham and a hamburger from a fast food restaurant, which we have since stopped. What could be causing his symptoms and what should we do to help him?

I have a 4-month-old goldendoodle named Loki. He has a solid bump under his chin that appeared randomly. It doesn’t seem to hurt or bother him, but it is reddish, and brown scabs have formed. The bump is about the size of a large marble. Has the dog been licking or rubbing the bump, and is there anything else the vet should know?
