My dog, Chachi, an 8-year-old Maltipoo, has a swollen sore causing him a lot of pain. He's been licking it a lot and crying, and he won't let me near it. I can't get to the vet tonight and don't have gabapentin or meloxicam. What can I give him for pain and how can I manage the sore until I can get to the vet?

My French bulldog, Achilles, developed a mass under his neck. The vet performed blood work, took a sample of the mass, and prescribed antibiotics. They suspect it might be an abscess but are waiting for biopsy results, which could take until next week. Should the biopsy results be rushed, and what should I do in the meantime?

My dog, Lucy, a 3-year-old lab and malicious mix, tripped on the stairs and is now dragging her leg, walking on the front of her foot, and panting heavily. She didn't yelp or show signs of pain, and the incident happened about two hours ago. What could be causing this and what should I do?

I have a 24 lb Chihuahua named Snickers, 9 years old, with a skin condition. I applied Saratoga ointment containing petrolatum, zinc oxide, acetylated alcohols, beeswax, and eucalyptus, and he licked his leg, vomiting three times. He is now sleeping and snoring. What should I do?

My puppy, Benji, a 6-month-old Dachshund weighing about 10 lbs, swallowed part of the material that covers a tennis ball. He has been progressively tearing and eating it, which might be causing him to have trouble sleeping. What should I do to ensure he's okay, and what are the signs I should watch for that might indicate a more serious issue?
