My 14-year-old dachshund, Baloo, has had a growing tumor on his lower mouth area for over a year, which has been bleeding frequently for the past 6 months. He also has another tumor on his neck that bleeds periodically. He has been wearing a soft collar to prevent him from rubbing the tumors, but he has become thinner, has trouble walking, and is pooping more frequently. We are considering euthanasia due to the increasing bleeding and potential pain. What should we do?

My 8-year-old Yorkie, Orry, has started licking and chewing on his paws loudly, which he didn't do before. He just started a new tick medicine (Simparica) five days ago after finding several ticks on him. His paws don't look red or swollen, but he's hiding from me when he does this. What could be causing this behavior and what should I do?

My dog, a Daisy dog, has been lethargic and not eating well on and off for over a month. She has been to the vet three times, and they think her stomach is upset, suggesting I give her pumpkin, boiled rice, and chicken or hamburger. She feels better for a week or two, then the symptoms return. Her complete blood count and temperature are normal. Could she be arthritic, and what should I do?

My 8-9 month old puppy has been vomiting bile (yellow or greenish) every other morning for the last 2 weeks. He still acts normal, eats well, and is energetic. He also chews on various items he finds around the house and sometimes eats grass or wrappers. He was recently neutered and has healed well. Should I be concerned about his morning vomiting, and what can I do to manage it?

While grooming a client's dog, I noticed his eye membrane appears to be ruptured, and there is a jelly-like substance present. The dog was in this condition before I started bathing him. What could this be, and what should the owner do?
