My blue heeler puppy, Zombra, has a large, blood-filled bump on her head that has grown significantly in size over the past few days. She is itching and shaking her head frequently, and the bump is now oozing blood and pus. The bump is causing her discomfort and she tries to bite when we get near it. What should I do to help her until I can take her to the vet in the morning?

My sister has a 1-year-old rescue puppy that is part terrier and part shitzeu. He is high-strung but extremely intelligent. My sister is very OCD and gets upset when he doesn't follow her commands exactly. I've advised her that he's still a puppy and needs training, not yelling. Additionally, when he goes into the large fenced backyard, he constantly chews on trees and bark. What causes a dog to chew on trees and how can we address both issues?
