My dog, Butters, has a persistent lump on his tail that has a lesion and doesn't stay healed. It's been there for several months and has been licked by another dog. My vet suggested amputating the tail above the lump for biopsy, but I'm unsure if this is the right course of action. Should I consider another opinion or proceed with the amputation?

My 12-year-old dog, Lizzy, had a tooth removed last Wednesday and has since stopped eating, even refusing her usual food like browned hamburger. She also experienced diarrhea and was straining to defecate. The vet confirmed she is healing well but didn't provide a solution for her eating issues. How can I get her to start eating and manage her digestive problems?

I applied lavender oil to my 3-year-old King Charles Cavalier named Roxy during a thunderstorm to help with her stress, and now she seems very flat and unable to jump up on the couch. Could the lavender oil be making her sick, and what should I do?

My dog has a history of elevated liver enzymes when exposed to pesticides, and we are dealing with a stubborn case of tapeworms that have not responded to regular treatments. The vet advised giving Drontal Plus for 3 consecutive days. What is your opinion on the safety and effectiveness of this treatment, and is it common for tapeworms to require multiple treatments?

My Shiba Inu dog, Cali, ate antederm ear ointment (Entederm, containing nystatin, neomycin sulfate, thiostrepton, and triamcinolone). She is 8 months old and weighs about 28 pounds. Is this harmful, and what should I do if she shows any adverse symptoms?
