My dog Maddie, a Staffordshire Bull Terrier, has developed a large lump on her lower right cheek, just above her jawline and the end of her mouth. She was in a dog fight last week and has been acting differently, including being aggressive with her best dog friend. What could be causing the lump and should I be concerned about her behavior?

My dog had a myotomy for cricopharyngeal dysphasia and has been experiencing aspiration pneumonia, vomiting, and aerophagia. She has been readmitted to the hospital multiple times and is currently on medications including meropenem and GI motility meds. She needs to have her feeding tube aspirated every three hours due to aerophagia, and she is still coughing and lethargic after 18 days at home. I am unsure about the appropriate activities for her and whether techniques like coupage are safe or effective. Additionally, I am concerned about the impact of cisapride on her ability to burp and the overall management of her condition, including the 24/7 aspiration schedule. What should I be doing to help her recover and manage her symptoms effectively?

My 12-week-old puppy, Nikki, has developed bumps under her fur on her back, is itchy, agitated, restless, and not acting like herself. She has had 3 doses of Benadryl today, which initially seemed to help but the symptoms returned. There are no signs of fleas. What could be causing this and what should I do?
