My 11-month-old labradoodle named Buster has green discharge coming from his eyes, but he is acting completely fine, running around and playing. He has bad allergies and gets rashes on his skin, requiring allergy shots. The discharge appeared a little yesterday but is a bit worse today. What could be causing this, and should I take him to the vet?

My puppy, Sir Retro, ate a few pieces of grapes, is around 4 to 5 pounds, and has vomited a few times with a warm dry nose. He is not himself, not eating or drinking, and has vomited clear stuff possibly due to acid reflux. What should I do?

My 70 lb lab ran full speed into my 40 lb lab puppy, causing the puppy to violently roll several times. She yelped and was limping on her front right paw. That was on Monday. She seemed to improve but has still been limping off and on. Today, the bigger lab grabbed the puppy's right leg and seemed to pull, causing the puppy to yelp and not put any weight on the leg since then. There is no bleeding, and she does not cry when I handle her leg or paw. Should I take her to the ER vet now, which is over an hour away, or wait until morning? Could she have dislocated a shoulder or something other than a broken bone? She is currently sleeping.
