My dog, Carrigan, may have a broken front right leg. He was injured yesterday evening when I accidentally backed over him with my car. He cannot put any weight on the leg and it looks unnatural. I have wrapped the leg in a bandage. What should I do, and can you help me make a splint without going to a vet due to financial constraints?

My golden doodle puppy, Piper, has diarrhea with blood. We noticed it this morning, and she had diarrhea in her crate, but the diarrhea itself was not bloody. Instead, her butt was bleeding, and we found a small amount of red jelly-like substance in the grass after she tried to poop. She is still acting normally, not lethargic, and has eaten and drunk water today. She hasn't eaten anything unusual that we know of, but she often gets into things. What could be causing this, and what should we do?

My dog, Jaz, has had a bone lodged in her intestines since Wednesday. She stopped eating and became lethargic and dehydrated. I took her to the hospital on Saturday for hydration, but I cannot afford a $1000 surgery. I am looking for low-cost options or information on where to take her if I need to give her up. What should I do?

My 9-week-old puppy, Taco, got his paw pinched under the balcony door and was limping slightly after. The emergency vet said nothing is broken and gave him painkillers. He's still slightly limping today. Should I take him to our vet for further examination or wait?

My dog, Axle, a 9-year-old rat terrier, has a large, swollen, and red area beside his penis, and another lump has appeared under his jaw. He is neutered. What could these lumps be, and what should I do?
