My 13-year-old spayed Bichon Frise, Bella, has an inflamed vaginal area after being groomed. She is trying to chew the area and drags her behind on the floor. There is no vaginal discharge, and she is not urinating frequently or eating well. What could be causing this and what should I do?

My 7-year-old Yorkshire Terrier named Goliath has a visibly protruding floating rib, and his liver is enlarged according to an X-ray and blood test taken 6 months ago. The vet advised no treatment and to wait and see. Goliath is active, happy, and alert, and I give him a US-made bully stick for 30 minutes daily. Is the bully stick causing the issue, and is the 'wait and see' approach appropriate?

I found a blister on my dog's front left paw and another possibly forming on his other paw. Could it be from a foxtail or a splinter that became infected? I soaked it in warm Epsom salt. What do you think it could be and what should I do next?
