My 15-year-old foxhound, Mimi, slipped down the stairs and has been limping with a swollen right hip since Saturday. She doesn't yelp or react painfully when touched, but her movements are labored, and her muscles shake on that side. What should I do for her, and what might the vet look for in an x-ray?

My 2-year-old female Golden Doodle, Miley, has been chewing on her front right paw so much that the padding is coming off. We've noticed this behavior for about a week, and we've been soaking and cleaning the paw, applying moisturizer, and using a sock to prevent further chewing. She doesn't have any known allergies, but we removed chicken from her diet due to itching. There's no rash or other skin-related symptoms, just the one paw. What could be causing this and what should we do?

My dog, Buddy, a 13-year-old Boston Terrier, has developed hives about 2 hours after eating macaroni cheese with mustard powder. He has been treated for a gastrointestinal issue and has had fluids recently. He has been given Benadryl for previous hives and is currently scratching and rubbing his face. What could be causing the hives and what should I do?

I have 2 English bulldogs and 1 6-month-old French bulldog. They chewed on and possibly ingested pieces of a small, young aloe vera plant. Should I be worried, and when will I know they are in the clear?

My dog, Kane, has been having loose stools on and off for the past few days. I was trying to slowly change his diet from kibble to cooked dog food, but I've stopped that until he is okay. What should I do to help him recover?
