My dog, Sugarbear, a 7-year-old terrier weighing approximately 25 pounds, has been clingy, panting off and on, and her tongue, ears, and nose were hot. She has been eating and her poop looks normal. What could be causing this and what should I do?

My 6-year-old 80-pound Lab named Brier is limping on his right front leg. The limping started yesterday and seems to occur after he plays hard or goes on long walks. He lets me touch and feel his legs without flinching, and he has had some pain pills. What could be causing this, and what should I do?

Hi Dr. Mike! We noticed a spot on our female American Bulldog, Sookie, a few weeks ago. It looked like a bug bite but has grown larger recently, about the size of a nickel. There is no fluid, and it does not seem painful or itchy. We are in Alaska and have attached photos. What could this be, and what should we do?

My 7-month-old Chesapeake retriever, Harper, is experiencing constipation with small blood spots in her stool, and has vomited twice. She is still alert and playful. She may have eaten some stuffing from a toy. What should I do?
