My dog, Homer, who is about 7 or 8 years old, had a possible fight on Wednesday night with slight wounds that were damp around the hair. Now, he is experiencing substantial swelling and tenderness around his shoulder and under his neck, which has increased today. Does he need to go to the emergency vet now, or can I wait until tomorrow to see his regular vet?

My dog got into some chicken jerky for dogs and has been throwing up a lot, acting weak and lethargic, with occasional blood in his vomit and red in his stool. We've given him subcutaneous fluids today. Should we take him to the vet, or keep monitoring him?

My dog, Winnie, was diagnosed with pancreatitis in July and has recently thrown up undigested food for the first time since then. She has been eating home-cooked chicken and vegetables, and some kibble. She is not on any medication and weighs 8 lbs. What could be causing her to throw up and what should I do?

My 10-year-old pit bull has been howling for 3 days, showing agitation, rapid breathing, and walking as if his legs hurt. He is a virgin and sometimes swallows as if it hurts. What could be causing these symptoms and what should I do?

My dog, Gracy, is 11 years old and has been experiencing pain in her back leg for the past two weeks. Today, she is not weight bearing on the leg and is yelping in pain when trying to use it. She has been fairly healthy overall, with past issues of back pain due to being overweight, but is now at a healthy weight. She takes daily Dasaquin chews for pain. What could be causing this sudden worsening of her condition and what should I do?
