My French bulldog, Achilles, developed a mass under his neck. The vet performed blood work, took a sample of the mass, and prescribed antibiotics.

My dog, Lucy, a 3-year-old lab and malicious mix, tripped on the stairs and is now dragging her leg, walking on the front of her foot, and panting heavily. She didn't yelp or show signs of pain, and the incident happened about two hours ago. What could be causing this and what should I do?

My puppy, Benji, a 6-month-old Dachshund weighing about 10 lbs, swallowed part of the material that covers a tennis ball. He has been progressively tearing and eating it, which might be causing him to have trouble sleeping. What should I do to ensure he's okay, and what are the signs I should watch for that might indicate a more serious issue?

My 10-year-old dog, Duke, has recently stopped wanting to come down the stairs, seems very tired, and threw up thick mucus two days ago. He still eats and drinks well, but I'm concerned about his reluctance to go downstairs. Can I give him pet pain meds, and what could be causing his behavior?
