My dog, Muki, a 7-year-old male Akita Husky, has red swelling around the bottom of his tail. He was adopted 2 years ago and has been walking eagerly and normally. There have been no recent changes in eating, drinking, defecating, or urinating, and no underlying medical conditions or medications. What can be done to address this issue?

I have two dogs, one is 14 weeks old and the other is 14 months old. They got into my gun oil, which was a tiny bottle, and I smell it on both of their mouths. Most of the oil appears to have leaked out onto their beds rather than being ingested. What should I do to ensure their safety, and how long should I monitor them for any adverse effects?

My dog, Mollie, has blastomycosis and is blind in both eyes. We are treating her with itraconazole and eye drops four times a day, using three different types. Do we have a chance to save her eyes?

Can we please connect with a vet? Our one-year-old small dog, Luna, threw up about an hour ago after getting into the compost and eating most of a Gomacro Dark Chocolate & Almond protein decadence granola bar. We do not think it is an extraordinary amount of chocolate, and she has been acting fine except for the vomiting. She just fell asleep at her normal time after normal activities. Can we monitor her at home, and if so, what should we look for?

I’m worried about my 9.5-year-old black lab who is around 90lbs. She recently started panting mildly at midnight, which seemed odd. The panting has since subsided, but I noticed her gums are black, which I read could be potentially dangerous. Should I be concerned about her gum color, and what should I do if the panting persists?
