My dog's poop is dark and liquidy, and she is in heat and bleeding more than usual. She is not on medication but had been given the wrong food for a while. She stopped eating for two days but has started eating rice mixed with her regular food again. How long has this been going on, and is this a concern?

My dog, Lucy, was injured in a fight with another dog. She has a deep cut on her right front paw, and I need to know how to treat it since the vet is closed today.

I found a firm lump on my dog Frankie's belly. How long it has been there is uncertain, but I just noticed it 30 minutes ago. Frankie is 6 years old and has no known medical conditions. What could this lump be, and should I take Frankie to the vet immediately or wait a few days?

Our dog has had recurring ear issues for several years, now worsening to constant head tilting and ear shaking. We've been cleaning her ears at home and have used medicated ear ointment, but it hasn't worked. Should we take her to the vet for another cleaning and consider using a cone of shame for a couple of weeks?

Our Boston terrier/heeler mix Belle (11 years old, about 40 lbs) has had a sensitive tummy all her life. Last month, she suddenly vomited a watery, foamy puddle with flecks of blood and was diagnosed with pancreatitis. She also had dental surgery and was prescribed various medications. Recently, she started having soft stool with urgency, red blood, and mucus, followed by straining and vomiting. Her stool improved but still showed issues. What could have caused the bloody stool and would she be contagious to other dogs?
