My dog Benji, who has a heart murmur and has been on furosemide for fluid on the lungs, has been diagnosed with a collapsing trachea and an enlarged liver, possibly indicating liver disease. The vet advised discontinuing furosemide and Vetace due to potential worsening of symptoms. I'm seeking a second opinion on whether this is the correct course of action and what other steps should be taken.

My 4-year-old female dog, who was spayed 3 years ago, has an enlarged and warm nipple. There is no discharge or redness, but it is larger and warm to the touch. What could be the cause, and what should I do to treat it?

I just picked up an 11-week-old Pyrenees puppy from a farm. She is covered in ticks and I've used recommended shampoo and spray, followed by another bath. She has normal behavior, eating, and bathroom habits, but some spots are still red and bumpy. Is this irritation or something else? What can I do for these spots, and what preventative measures should I take for an 11-week-old large breed puppy?

My Siberian just ate a very small amount of chocolate coating from a Lenny and Larry's Boss bar. He is 8 years old, weighs 60 lbs, and is generally healthy, taking Simparico. How long ago did this happen? What should I do?

My dog, Roxy, a 38-pound, 8-month-old medium-sized dog, ate a half sheet of paper towel that was wrapped around a pizza. When was this incident, has she thrown up since, and is there anything else the vet should know?
