My Papillon got up today with a limp tail. He won't or can't move it at all. He is normally a very happy dog, and even when he doesn't feel good, it usually wags at least once in a while. He seems to be able to walk fine, and is never off his leash when outside, so he wasn't hit by a car, etc. He also has not been in cold water. What do you think I should do? He also has a grooming appointment in the morning, should I still take him?

I have a rescue dog taking amoxicillin for a urinary tract infection. There are 3 days left in the 10-day antibiotic course. We are unsure of her exact age but estimate 9 months to 1.5 years. She received a parvovirus vaccination a month ago and we plan to give her another one. Is it advisable to vaccinate her while on antibiotics, and if not, when should we vaccinate her to ensure she develops immunity?

My English Bulldog has developed a rash on his back that swells into soft bumps, crusts over, and bleeds when brushed. He shows no signs of itching. What should I do?

My dog was attacked by an unknown animal, possibly a poisonous toad or an armadillo, about an hour ago. There was a pinkish liquid, not blood, and a small laceration on my dog's side. I gave my dog a bath to wash away the liquid, and she is now resting peacefully. My dog had a rabies shot two weeks ago. Are we out of the woods, and does she need another vaccination?

My dog recently had surgery, including neutering, and received shots and flea treatment. After removing the cone he wore, I noticed he yelps when I touch under his front armpit and has a thick scab there. Is this related to his surgery?
