My 11-year-old miniature Pinscher, Dixie, woke up with very red and irritated ears, face swelling, and intense itchiness. She is in pain, licking her paws and face, scratching her ears, and shaking her head. She doesn't want her ears touched. What could be causing this and what should I do?

I adopted a 5-year-old miniature pinscher 3 months ago. He has a history of cruel treatment, including a broken back. Recently, he has been refusing to eat, has blood in his stool, and is on medications including Ondansetron, Metronidazole, and Sucralfate. He will drink water but won't eat any of the various foods I've tried, including ground sirloin. What can I do to help him maintain fluid and energy intake, stimulate his appetite, and address his gastrointestinal issues?

I found my 76-pound Golden Retriever chewing on a Jade plant leaf. I believe he didn't swallow it. Should I do anything or just watch him closely?

My 12-year-old German Shepherd, Renji, has a swollen leg that he is limping on. The swelling is in his paw and up to his knee. He sometimes licks the area and is unable to put pressure on the leg unless the swelling goes down. What could be causing this and what can I do to help him?

My English Bulldog, Rascal, has been throwing up mucus and small spots, possibly due to eating pizza. He also had a slight runny nose yesterday. What should I do to help him?
