My dog Dexter, who is 11 years old, has a swollen ear flap. He can't reach it to lick it, and I don't think there's anything else the vet should know before I connect. What should I do?

My dog, FiFi, who is around 12 years old, has a small blood drop in her urine. She is acting completely normal, peeing normally, and eating and drinking normally. There is no unusual smell, and the majority of her urine looks normal, with just one spec of blood on her pee pad. Could this be a urinary tract infection, a sign of her cycle, or something else?

While playing and playfully patting her on her bottom, no harder than we've ever done while playing, her back legs stopped working. She immediately dragged herself back to her bed and was shivering. She was able to walk again an hour later but still whines in pain when touching her right side in the rear. Is it possible she's just sore and that kind of playing needs to stop or do you think she is outright injured?

Our 7-month-old Shih Tzu puppy has a 2-inch (5cm) round lump on his right flank area near his back leg. It is under his skin, and the skin color has not changed. The lump is not causing any discomfort to the puppy, but it is growing bigger. What could this lump be?

My 2-year-old, 10-pound dog licked a small amount of dried Lysol cleaning spray from the shower. She seems okay, but I'm worried. What should I do?
