My dog, Joey, who is 10 years old, has been coughing a lot recently, trying to bring something up but only producing a little white phlegm. His breathing seems normal, but he was whining a bit when resting this morning. He is eating normally and has been in contact with our other two dogs who are always home. What could be causing this and what should I do?

My dog, Chachi, an 8-year-old Maltipoo, has a swollen sore causing him a lot of pain. He's been licking it a lot and crying, and he won't let me near it. I can't get to the vet tonight and don't have gabapentin or meloxicam. What can I give him for pain and how can I manage the sore until I can get to the vet?

My French bulldog, Achilles, developed a mass under his neck. The vet performed blood work, took a sample of the mass, and prescribed antibiotics. They suspect it might be an abscess but are waiting for biopsy results, which could take until next week. Should the biopsy results be rushed, and what should I do in the meantime?

My dog, Lucy, a 3-year-old lab and malicious mix, tripped on the stairs and is now dragging her leg, walking on the front of her foot, and panting heavily. She didn't yelp or show signs of pain, and the incident happened about two hours ago. What could be causing this and what should I do?
