My 7-8 year old standard poodle female, who was fixed two years ago, had a Pyometra and recently experienced bleeding from the vulva. She is now squatting frequently and waiting longer than normal to urinate. Could she have a bladder infection or another infection, and what should I do?

My 8-year-old brown Lab/Rotti cross has a big, firm lump on his right rear hip that appeared today. There are no visible punctures, but he has been in recent fights and runs a lot. Could it be a bug bite, a swollen muscle, or something else?

My dog, Mickey, a 2-year-old weighing just under 50 pounds, got into a bottle of 100% pure sweet orange essential oil. I removed the bottle immediately and washed the area around his mouth. He seems fine but I don't know how much he ingested. The bottle was half full and about 10% of the oil is still left. What should I do and what symptoms should I watch for?

My dog, Blue, a 2-year-old weighing 57lb, ate a chicken bone two nights ago and has gone to the bathroom 5 times since but no bone in his stool. He hasn't vomited and shows no signs of distress like blood in stool or white gums. Should I be worried, and what can be done about his persistent biting of his paw, which has led to him losing two toes and being in a cone for almost a year?

My 7-month-old labradoodle, Cooper, has a red, swollen bump on his paw that looks like a bite. He is licking it and it keeps swelling. What should I do?
