I have a Boston Terrier named Rosie, who is 16 months old. Her lips on the left side are swollen in the corner of her mouth. I noticed this swelling just a few hours ago, and she hasn't been licking it. She is eating, and she has been healthy in the past with no problems. What could be causing this swelling, and what should I do?

I have a 10 1/2 year old Australian Shepherd named Izzie. She takes 0.5 mg of enalapril daily, but I've run out and it hasn't arrived yet. I take 20 mg of lisinopril. Can I give her 1/4 tablet of my lisinopril until her medication arrives?

My male Shih Tzu, Patches, born May 30, is hiding under the couch and whining. He started doing this about an hour ago, and normally he's very energetic and plays with my other dogs. What could be causing this behavior, and what should I do?

I have an 11-year-old male Chihuahua mix named Sami who has been experiencing diarrhea (very wet/yellow-brown) and vomiting (mucus/food) after eating boiled chicken with rice. The vomiting started about 20 minutes ago, and he had diarrhea a day or two earlier. There were ants in his dry food, which was thrown away a couple of days ago. Sami is otherwise energetic and doesn't seem to be feeling bad other than needing to go out more often. How should I address this issue?

Our older dachshund, Flower, has had a completely clouded eye for a couple of years now. It’s not bothered her other than she can’t see out of it, but the other eye is fine. Tonight, she has developed a small fluid pocket on the center of her eye. What do you think causes this? Can I wait until after Christmas to take her to the vet?
