Should I catheterize my dog, Bella, who has a tumor on her urethra blocking urine flow, given that the cancer is untreatable and has spread to her lungs, and she is expressing less urine as the tumor grows?

My terrier, Teasle, who is 9 years old and has lost the use of her back legs about 3 years ago, has a large growth below her anus that has grown rapidly over the last couple of weeks. A vet initially thought it could be a cyst, but the growth has continued to get larger. Teasle also has a habit of drinking her own urine, which has made her skin itchy. What could the growth be, and what should I do about it?

My 14-year-old dog, Manolo, has been acting scared and lethargic since I returned from a trip. She has an open wound on her back, possibly from a bite, and is not putting full weight on her left hind leg. I've been cleaning her wound and keeping her bandaged, but she seems to be getting worse. What should I do to help her?

My 10-month-old Poodle, Bailey, has been limping on his right front leg for a couple of days. He doesn't yelp in pain when touching the leg, is not very active, and has been laying in the snow a lot, which is unusual for him. He has no changes in appetite and has hardwood floors, often jumping on and off furniture. What could be causing the limp, and what should I do to help him?

My 10-month-old lab, Hudson, threw up a little mucus with a chunk of something pliable (possibly a chew stick) and now he’s stretching his neck and his hind quarters shiver when he breathes in. He can’t get comfortable. What should I do and what signs should I look for to know if I need to take him to the vet?
