My dog, Andy, a 7-year-old Australian cattle mix, has suddenly developed swollen, red digits after a day at camp. He is immunodepressed and on budesonide medication for an IBS disorder. He was licking the swelling yesterday but not currently. He is not limping or showing discomfort while walking, but it hurts when I touch or clean the area. What could be causing this and what immediate steps can I take until I can get him to a vet?

My Rat Terrier, Bambam, woke up heaving and trying to cough something up. He's eating grass and still trying to cough up something that isn't coming up. He's been doing this for 15 minutes. What could be causing this and what should I do?

My 3.5 lb yorkie, Tina Turner, has a history of pancreatitis and tends to throw up when her stomach gets upset. She licked my face after I applied a cream containing hyaluronic acid and green tea, and has since thrown up twice. What can I do to help calm her stomach tonight?

I got a 4.5-month-old puppy yesterday, and he's only peed once since I got him. I've taken him out every 2-4 hours on grass, soil, and concrete, but he hasn't pooped at all. He is eating and drinking, but I'm concerned. What should I do?

Can dogs bruise or bleed easily under their fur coat, and do they usually heal faster than humans? Also, is it possible to cause bad damage by playing too rough with them, and what should I do if I accidentally hurt my dog?
