My dog, Sandi, a 50-pound Charpai Lab mix, has swelling on both sides of her mouth, was excessively licking her paws and scratching, causing her face to bleed. I gave her a 50 mg Benadryl tablet last night. What could be causing this and what should I do next?

The swelling and excessive licking and scratching are likely signs of an allergic reaction. Here are...

My 9-year-old golden retriever, Luna, has vomited five times in the last couple of hours after being on the beach. The vomit is foamy and yellow. She has never done this before. What could be the cause and what should I do?

My dog's eye is swelling, which has happened before. I have an appointment on Monday morning but cannot afford an emergency vet visit now. What can I do to help my dog until then, and can I give him penicillin?

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.
