My dog, Chico, has a rash on his belly and groin, and a small scab from a recent dog bite on his back. He occasionally urinates on himself when excited and has been hiding in my clothes to sleep. What could be causing the rash and what should I do?

A large lump formed overnight under my dog's belly near the rear. She is biting at it as if it's a flea bite and licking it, causing it to get bigger. What can I do to keep her comfortable before a vet visit tomorrow morning?

My beagle is having difficulty climbing stairs and getting up on the couch, with sudden onset of back leg issues, and yelps when picked up. What can I do?

While getting my senior dog (a shepherd border collie mix, aged 12) groomed, a lump (external, round, and skin-toned) was found on her belly. It bled when shaved and while it doesn't bother her, I'm concerned about what it could be. I've applied fucidin and cleaned the area with antibacterial soap. What other suggestions do you have, and what could this lump potentially be?

My 20-lb shih-tzu/yorkie mix ate approximately 6oz of Wilton Candy Melts (in black, white, and green). She has vomited three times, with the vomit containing chunks of the candy melt and being slimy. Her stomach feels bloated. Should I be worried? Should I take her to the vet? It's a Sunday afternoon.
