My dog Luna, aged 9, has a large, fluid-filled sack hanging off her back upper thigh area. It has grown from small to large in about one month, is black in color with a red, irritated outer area, and looks like a water balloon. She doesn't seem bothered by it, but I'm concerned about potential infection. What could this be, and what should I do?

My 11-month-old corgi, Sally, had a difficult bowel movement that was very smelly, followed by vomiting that was chunky with some broken-down food. She also tried eating grass and got hold of an empty ice cream container before I took it away. What could be causing this and what should I do?

I have 3 dogs: a 200lb English mastiff and two French bulldogs. We give our mastiff allergy pills every night, including Apoquel, 8 25 mg Benadryl, and two Ecotrin. We think our female Frenchie might have ingested some of his meds in a ball of liver sausage, but we're not sure. She's acting fine and hasn't vomited since the incident. What should we do?

My dog is trembling uncomfortably and can't walk. There is stiffness in the legs, and it started 10 minutes ago. The dog is a 4-year-old Boxer, and I gave it milk. What could be the issue and what should I do?

I have a question about seizures, the medications for it, and flea and tick medications. I am considering adopting a dog that is on seizure medication (Zonisamide 25mg and 100mg, and potassium bromide 500mg). I need a good protocol for fleas and ticks as I had Lyme disease myself and we have had flea infestations in the past. Is there a flea and tick preventative that can be used with seizure meds?

My dog put his nose into a bit of insecticide control (powder) containing silicon dioxide 93%. He licked his nose right after and we washed his nose and tongue with fresh water. How concerned should I be about potential toxicity or other health issues?
