My small Yorkie, Sam, who is 14 years old and takes 25mg of Carprofen (1/4 tablet) for hip arthritis, had his left hind leg accidentally stepped on three hours ago. He weighs 4.5 lbs and is otherwise in good health. He is deaf and was sleeping when the incident occurred. I took him to an emergency vet clinic, but the wait was 7 hours. How long before I am connected to a vet, and what should I do in the meantime?

My chihuahua, Taquito, has a bleeding cyst on his leg that has led to significant swelling in his foot. He is still walking and eating, but I'm concerned about potential infection. What should I do until his vet appointment on Tuesday?

My Chihuahua, Abel, has a swollen snout. I noticed it after a walk, and she sneezed a lot when she came back. She's breathing fine and seems okay except for the swollen nose. She didn't eat anything unusual. What could be causing this and what should I do?

My 7-year-old Bichon Frise, Buster, has been vomiting and experiencing diarrhea since yesterday afternoon. He's lethargic, not eating, and drinking very little. The vomit has been yellow and white, and he's had about 15 episodes. He's also been eating grass, which has made his poop green. He's up to date on his shots and deworming, but no recent blood work was done. What could be causing this and what should I do?
