My dog's tail got caught in the door and was broken off. There's something long that came out with it, and I'm worried it might be nerve-related. What should I do for immediate care, and should I take her to the vet in the morning?

My dog, Bonnie, a 1-year-4-month-old Bichon Shih Tzu cross weighing about 15 pounds, fell off a 3-foot counter about 15-20 minutes ago. She didn't yelp but seems scared and sleepy. Her appetite is fine, and she responded to food. What should I look out for in terms of possible injuries, and how should I monitor her condition?

My 8-month-old Sheltie male, weighing 20 lbs, ate about 4 inches of 1/2-inch thick speaker cable insulation about half an hour ago. He has not vomited since and is being treated for a minor worm condition but has finished his treatment yesterday except for probiotic and an antibiotic. What should I do?

My 8-month-old golden retriever swallowed a foreign object a week ago and vomited it up. Since then, he has been vomiting kibble and had liquid diarrhea. He has a history of a sensitive GI tract. What signs should I look for to determine if he needs an X-ray, and how urgent is it?

My dog, Kai, a 5-year-old mixed breed (possibly with boxer or pitbull), has swollen glands, is lethargic for a couple of days, and is not excited about his food. He is having difficulties getting up stairs and from a laying down position. His anal glands are swollen, and I have increased his fiber intake and ensured he drinks plenty of water. There is no drainage from the area, and he was neutered before we got him. His stools are a bit softer throughout the day but still formed. What could be causing these issues, and what should I do?
