My father is watching my dog for the week and sent me a picture of her paw. It appears her nail got caught in something and caused a cut/tear. Was curious if we needed to take her to emergency or if I could keep my current appointment which is set for Thursday. There is minimal blood and he said he sprayed the wound with antiseptic first aid spray and wrapped it in gauze. Also said she isn’t limping or appearing to be in pain but was trying to lick/clean the wound before he wrapped it up.

Hello, my 10-year-old Siberian Husky named Chief has been experiencing sudden and increasingly frequent episodes of loss of coordination, loss of balance to one side, asymmetrical ears, nausea, surplus saliva, lip smacking, spinal or body constriction, and uneven breathing. The episodes have been happening closer together, with the longest one lasting 6 minutes. There has been a sudden increase in water intake before these episodes. What could be causing these symptoms and what should I do?

My dog, Cooper, a Belgian breed, almost 2 years old, has a big cut on his back paw. The cut is not bleeding heavily. What is the best way to treat this cut at home until I can get him to a vet?

Is the poop from my four-month-old miniature schnauzer, weighing 8.8 pounds, normal after a recent diet transition and eating a poinsettia leaf?

My dog, Chaucer, an English Cocker Spaniel, has been licking his paws and smelling foul for about 15-20 days. He walked through a dusty construction site, which might have caused this issue. He occasionally uses ear drops for yeast infections and is 12 years and 3 months old. What could be causing this and what should I do?

One of my dog's foot pads is reddish pink, and it doesn't look right to me. The dog, Blu, is about 10.5 years old and weighs 75 lbs. I noticed this about 3 weeks ago, and he has been licking it slightly more than the other pads. What could be the issue, and what should I do?
