My dog, Bernice, has a swollen lymph node near her shoulder that has been present for about 2 weeks. The vet initially prescribed antibiotics, which caused the swelling to decrease but then it increased again. The vet suspects the issue is related to her teeth, but I'm concerned it might be cancer. What should I do next?

My senior lab, Caesar, ate a piece of a shoe and has vomited three times since this morning, with a piece of shoe found in the vomit. He is refusing to drink, eat, or stand up. Should I be concerned for a bowel obstruction, especially given his age (12 years), weight (90 lbs), and current use of carprofen for arthritis pain?

My dog, Bowser, is shaking, lethargic, and yelped when I touched him around the front of his body. He's also having difficulty walking and shaking is getting worse. He was exposed to toxic fumes in my hallway this morning and ate some pizza crumbs. What could be causing his symptoms and what should I look for?

My dog, Jax, was neutered 7 days ago and had an additional surgery as one of his testicles wasn't dropped. The incision appears to have opened up with a little fluid coming out, but no redness. Should I take him back to the vet, or will it heal on its own?
