My 2-year-old dog, Zeus, has a growth on his eyelid that has grown larger and is red underneath, looking almost like a whitehead. I first noticed it on July 3rd and tried Benadryl without success. What could this be, and is there anything I can do in the meantime until I can get him to the vet?

My dog suddenly started limping, licking his paw, and won't put any weight on his foot. I don't see any visible abrasions, breaks, or swelling. What could be causing this and what should I do?

My 36-pound dog ate one piece of See's chocolate, which was a dark chocolate shell with a creamy center. Should I be worried or bring him in?

I just got my 6-month-old dog, Sal, neutered on Monday. I’m worried his incision may be infected despite using a cone and keeping him calm. The incision looks redder than before, and there’s a little bit of dry blood. He’s on carprofen, gabapentin, and trazodone, which make him drowsy but he still gets excited and tries to jump. What should I do, and are there any signs of infection that would require immediate attention?

My dog, Autumn, an Aussador, has been scooting and licking her butt. She had a similar issue last year with an infected anal gland that swelled and ruptured. There is no obvious swelling or discharge now, and her stool is normal. What can I do to prevent an infection?
