My dachshund mix, Kobe, has been excessively licking his paws and body for the last 15 minutes without stopping. His left upper lip is swollen, and my daughter gave him an allergy pill (Benadryl) around 9:00 PM, which seems to have brought the swelling down some. He has no visible rash or hives, and his gums are not swollen. What could be causing this behavior, and what should I do?

My 13-year-old dog, Gustavo, has been vomiting frothy foamy vomit with grass, has a lack of appetite, and seems sluggish but energized when going for walks. He has been adjusting to my new work schedule and has shown signs of depression since my other dog died over a year ago. What could be causing his symptoms and what steps should I take to help him?

My dog ate Desitin. She vomited multiple times and most of the food she ate hours earlier came up. She did have one big watery white throw up. But since then has drunken some water and threw up just a little bit more but seems settled right now. The dog is 15 pounds and I’m uncertain how much she ate but maybe a tablespoon worth. The last throw up was just 20 minutes ago, it was very little and it was after she drank water. Lucy, age 4, has no other issues.

My small dog ate 5 bites of Chinese food 3 hours ago. She threw up the food 40 minutes ago and the bile in the last part of her vomit looks like it has blood in it. She’s resting now but I wanted to check to see if there’s something we should do for her. What should we do for our dog Olive, who is 2.5 years old and 10 pounds, after she vomited Chinese food and bile with possible blood?

Our 4-year-old female pit bull, Kalani, has a lump the size of half a ping pong ball on her left lower back. It's tender to touch and comes and goes in the same location. She also has a less noticeable lump on the right side. What could this be and what should we do?
