My dog, Kobe, a Parson Russell Havanese mix, was limping and in pain a month ago, which I thought was a pulled muscle. He no longer limps, runs, and plays normally, but when he stands, he doesn't put weight on his hind leg and holds it just above the ground. There are no visible differences in his legs/feet, and he lets me bend his leg without any signs of discomfort. What could be causing this issue, and what should I do?

My 13-year-old Springer has a sarcoma on his chest that has been there for some weeks. He also has numerous sebaceous cysts. 1) Is there a chance that any of his cysts is malignant? 2) He is having the sarcoma removed on Friday - are his chances of healthy remaining years good? He is very fit.

I have a 9-year-old Lhasa Apso who has been taking Benadryl for allergies and recently experienced vomiting 1-3 hours after meals. He vomits 2-3 times, drinks water, and then stops. What can I do for him?

My four-year-old mixed-breed female dog has been licking her anus, around it, and the base of her tail for a few months. The vet initially thought she needed her anal glands expressed, which was done, but the licking continued. The vet later found an infected anal gland, treated it with antibiotics, and gave her an injection for general scratching, but the licking persists. She was also observed pushing along the floor on her behind. What could be causing this and should I seek a second opinion?

Can a five-day-old puppy eat too much from the mother, or are we feeding the mother too much?

I just got a Maltese cross from a shelter and found a tick on him after his bath. The tick is dead, but there is a wound with a little hole that seems irritated. Should I take him to the vet, or is there something I can do at home?
