My 15 lb Shih Tzu Poodle was attacked by a pit bull, resulting in severe bites on his butt and penis area. He underwent surgery, including stitches and a drain insertion. The penis area was very red, and the redness has since spread to his entire stomach. He is on Clavamox and Tramadol, but he seems to be slowing down and experiencing discomfort. Should I give him an additional half dose of antibiotics now, or wait until the next scheduled dose? If it's a bad infection, are there more aggressive treatment options, such as IV antibiotics?

I have a 1-year-old English bulldog named Boycey who has been limping on his back left leg on and off for the last week. I've checked his leg and paws but can't see any wounds. He's been more lethargic and less interested in food lately. What could be causing his limping, and what should I do to help him?

Hi, we have a 4lb Yorkie that just jumped out of my husband's arms onto the garage concrete floor. It pretty much knocked him out. He's kind of moving around on my lap, but not very much. He is whimpering when he moves. Should we take him into the emergency vet?

Cleo, my dog, has a lump that was aspirated and found to contain infection and a small cluster of round cells. The vet prescribed amoxicillin, but now the lump seems to have shrunk. The vet recommends monitoring the lump for another two weeks to see if it goes down further. What could the lump be, and what should I do next?
