My 9-month-old husky/lab mix, Briscoe, has developed a smooth, flesh-toned bump directly under his black nose, about the size of a tic tac. It is raised and possibly grown larger over the past month. The bump does not have a head like a pimple or segments like a wart. What could this bump be, and what should I do about it?

My teddy bear breed dog chewed on the top of a 1.7 oz tester of Lacoste Esau de toilette. He is 13 lbs. Is this toxic, and should I induce vomiting or feed him? It just happened 10 minutes ago.

My older dog, approximately 13 years old and 40 pounds, has been experiencing respiratory difficulties, diagnosed with laryngeal paresis, likely heat-related. He was given Valium and cooled down when his temperature was 104, and he recovered. However, the episodes have returned, even without exertion or excessive heat, lasting an hour or so and sometimes accompanied by vomiting. The frequency of these episodes is increasing. We do not want surgery. We were told steroids and Valium may help. What are your thoughts?

My labradoodle has had constant diarrhea for 4 or 5 days, vomited bile once, and is lethargic. He has injured his spine but is improving. There is no blood in the stool, and he weighs 67 lbs. He is not on any medications except for flea and tick prevention. He has watery stools day and night, and I'm concerned he isn't drinking enough. He is eating but would like to eat more; I'm currently giving him a little food of white rice and lamb. What could be causing his diarrhea and what should I do?

My puppy, Grizzly, drank mop water with Clorox. His poop is watery and smells like chemicals, but he is eating, drinking, playing, and otherwise seems normal. What should I do?
