My dog, Charlie, a 1 year, 4 months old intact Aussiedoodle, was attacked by another dog. There is a single puncture on his right foreleg that did not bleed much and clotted quickly. I cleaned the site with iodine and wrapped it in a clean cloth. He is limping but putting weight on the leg. I also felt subcutaneous emphysema around the site. What should I do for the injury, and will the subcutaneous crackling resolve on its own?

My dog, Bailey, a 9-month-old Shihpoo weighing about 15 pounds, has been throwing up white foam and is lethargic, not wanting to walk. She might have eaten something unusual, and her shots are up to date. What should I do?

My dog, Arya, a Muggin Minatute Pin and Pug mix, has been intermittently vomiting for months. She has undergone blood work and x-rays, which showed no abnormalities. She has no diarrhea, her tummy is not enlarged, and she has a sensitivity to chicken. She has been on Prilosec, but it doesn't seem to help. She sometimes vomits foamy or food-containing vomit, and the vomiting can occur at any time, though mainly in the morning. She gets dehydrated and has needed infusions. What could be causing her vomiting, and what further tests or treatments should be considered?

I have a golden retriever with a fungal dermatitis under his chin and unexplained hind limb weakness. Can these two issues be connected, especially since scratching his chin causes him to lose balance and strength in his legs?
