My cockapoo, Daisy, has a swollen eye today. The bump appears to be outside the eyeball, more on the eyelid or forehead, causing her eye to look closed. She can't reach to lick it but is rubbing her face on her paw and leg. Daisy is 1 1/2 years old and has no other symptoms. The swelling occurred since this morning.

My 1-year-old German Shepherd, Tucker, has been lethargic, not eating or drinking, and has a cough for the last few days. His gums are pale pink and his nose is dry. His breathing is faster than normal. What could be wrong and what should I do?

My 10-month-old Beagle, Abby, vomited foamy substance after eating something unusual in a country neighborhood. Her sister, who left with her, has not returned. Abby is trying to clear something out of her throat. What could be the issue, and what can I do to help her?

My male dog, Tech, has bruising on both sides of his underbelly near his testicles, which I noticed last week. He mated with my female dog about a month ago, and I'm unsure if the bruising is related. Additionally, he has a pimple-like lump that doesn't pop and has been present for years. He also has trouble getting up, indicating back pain. What could be causing these issues, and what should I do?

My dog, Yurie, is being aggressive towards male house guests. He has been fine with my husband and me but starts barking and growling every time he sees other men in the house. We just noticed this behavior because we have friends staying with us, and we just got him a month ago from a rescue. He is 1 year old. We have tried keeping him on a leash, making him sit, and putting our hand over his snout while saying 'quiet,' but it hasn’t helped much. He is also snapping at the guests. What can we do to address this behavior?

My dog, Walter, an 11-month-old weighing 41 lbs, ate 4 cigarettes about 30 minutes ago. I've administered 8ml of hydrogen peroxide to induce vomiting, but he hasn't vomited yet. What should I do next, and what symptoms should I look for regarding potential nicotine toxicity?
