My dog, Tug, a 9-year-old beagle blue heeler mix weighing about 40-45lbs, has been lethargic, showing signs of abdominal swelling, increased potty frequency, panting, and a small lump behind his back right shoulder. He has been eating normally but has softer stool and strains to poop. He also seems to be shedding more hair lately. What could be causing these symptoms and what should I do in the meantime before taking him to the vet?

Our dog, Tango, a 3-year-old 45-pound dog, ate a Raid ant trap. We don't know exactly when it happened, but it was likely within the past couple of hours. The dog was found sleeping with a chewed ant trap on the floor and has not shown any signs of vomiting. Is there any immediate action needed, and what are the potential risks?
