I live in a rural area of Alaska with no access to a vet. My 9-year-old dog, Jazz, was bitten by another dog, and the wound has healed over but now appears to be a subcutaneous abscess. There is no bleeding or draining, but a lump of pus has formed. Jazz has had all her shots and is spayed. What should I do to treat the abscess, and can I get medications shipped to me?

My dog has dark chocolate-colored stools on the outside for the last couple of days, but the inside is normal brown. Should I take her to my local vet?

My two-year-old mini schnauzer, Sky, has been throwing up bile for the past four days. She has a loss of appetite, is lethargic, and occasionally drinks water on her own. I've switched her to baby food and a bit of pedialyte, but she still throws up phlegm. What should I do, and how much pedialyte should I give her per serving?

My dog might have a urinary tract infection (UTI) from drinking nasty creek water or was possibly kicked by a horse. What can I do for these potential issues, and if I can get a urine sample, could I send it to you?

I found an injured possum last night. It appears to be hit by a car. I have him in a dog crate and am waiting for wildlife rescue to return my calls. Should I give him water or anything? He did poop.
