My 14.5-year-old yellow lab, Bo, has a large fatty tumor on his back that has recently turned purple, hardened, and started bleeding and oozing. He is not eating but drinking water, struggles with walking, and has been in pain. What can I do to help him until he can see a vet, and what signs should I watch for to determine if this is an emergency?

My 12-year-old dog, Leah, suddenly started walking with a 'thud' in her front paw this morning. She also has trouble going up and down stairs and slightly swerves while walking. Her head motion seems normal, and she has a urinary tract infection for which she takes medication. What could be causing this, and what should I check or do?
