My dog, Scout, a 1-year-old Golden Retriever, has a sore/scab on his nose that I noticed about 6 days ago after visiting the dog park. It's about the size of a dime, pink, and has some blood/scabbing. He's been shaking his head a lot because it's bothersome. Should he receive treatment, and if so, when and what kind?

My 8-year-old Maltese poodle, Apple, has been experiencing pain and swelling in her tooth, which is one of her only two remaining canines. The issue started about a week ago, and she often gets rug fibers caught around the tooth base from licking the carpet and couch. I usually remove the fibers, but this time, it seems infected with green exudate and a bad smell. She won't let me touch the swollen area. What should I do?

My bearded dragon, Lulu, lost a toenail completely and is bleeding heavily. I applied flour to stop the bleeding. What else can I do to help her?

My dog ate a large bag of no hide twist treats and has been vomiting multiple times. She weighs 50 pounds and is 3.5 years old. Should she go to an emergency vet, and are there any specific dangers associated with the treats she ate?

My dog, Kuma, a 2-year-old weighing 60 lbs, broke his dew claw tonight. The entire nail came off, exposing his quick. I managed to stop the bleeding with powder, washed his paw with Chlorhex, sprayed vetericym, applied static powder, and wrapped it up. I also gave him a 300 mg GABA for pain. He had a heart murmur but didn't show any signs during his last visit. What should I do to ensure proper healing and prevent infection?

My dogs ate ham and salmon skin from the garbage that had been out of the fridge for over 24 hours. They both have diarrhea, and one is vomiting. What should I do to help them?
