My dog, Max, a 6-month-old XL Bully cross, has a red, raised lump on his ear that appears to be scabbing in parts and pink in others. I first noticed it about two weeks ago, and it seems to have grown bigger. What could this lump be, and what should I do about it?

My dog started whining about her back left leg and holding it up occasionally, without any obvious injury or swelling. She doesn't limp when she walks and doesn't guard the leg when touched, but she holds it up at times as if it hurts. She's also not as active as before. What could be causing this intermittent pain and what should I check or do?

My 8-year-old male German Shepherd, weighing 80-90 lbs, ingested toad poison 3 days ago. He vomited, was given charcoal, and had his mouth washed out. Now, he can barely stand, drinks fluids but won't eat, pants a lot, and has a fast heart rate. His tongue has a reddish color. What should I do?

My dog, Chico, has a large open wound on his tail that he keeps biting. He recently had surgery to get neutered and previously had dermatitis on his stomach. What could be causing the wound and how should it be treated?

My 15lb 18-month-old dog likely ingested a small amount of an O2 oxygen absorbent package. Today she also had her flea and tick medication, which tends to cause looser stool and reduced appetite. How can I determine if her symptoms are due to the medication or a potential toxic dose from the package?
