I noticed a lump on my dog's neck under the jaw. I'm concerned it might be a swollen lymph node and could be related to lymphoma, especially since my other dog had a similar issue. Could you help identify what the lump might be and what steps I should take?

My dog, Huey, a Lhasa Apso, has dark red blood in his stool. He was vaccinated for parvo in May 2021, eats grass and chews on a femur bone. He started showing signs on Friday around 4pm EST, but he is still acting normal—walking, drinking, and eating normally. What could be causing this and what should I do?

My 12-year-old dog, Sampson, has failing hips and is struggling to move, including going to the bathroom. He couldn't get up the stairs last night and had to be carried by a neighbor. He ate his treats this morning but not his breakfast, which isn't unusual due to his sensitive stomach. He's been having hip issues for a while but never this severe. I can't get him into the car to take him to a hospital. What should I do?

My 12-pound dog, Ozzie, chewed up an ant trap containing avermectin b. He has had seizures in the past but none since changing his food over a year ago, and he had pancreatitis once after eating a dead squirrel. What should I do about this situation?

My Chihuahua, Toby, has been experiencing hair loss patches with flaky dandruff, a musty smell, crusty scabs on the hair follicles, and dark patches with redness around the edges on his skin. I noticed this two weeks ago on his back, and he has not been itching or licking the area. I started him on probiotics and an antifungal shampoo, but his condition has not improved. What could be causing this, and what should I do next?
