My pit bull terrier/boxer mix, Copper, has a swollen dew claw nail bed that is bothering him. He recently finished antibiotics for a broken nail and now has sores on his front paws. What can I do to help him at home since I can't afford a vet visit right now?

My 17-year-old Beagle, Hershey, wakes up panting and thirsty, and has started urinating more frequently in the house. She occasionally coughs when she wakes up, but otherwise shows no other symptoms. What could be causing this and what should I do?

My dog, Buddy, who is approximately 12 years old, has been acting weird, not eating or drinking much, off balance when trying to walk, and stiff when moving. He seems to be just laying around and not himself. When did you first notice this decrease in the dog's appetite, and does the dog seem to be in any pain?

Our five-year-old 89 lb lab mix, Luna, just ate a half of an everything bagel with a little cream cheese. Should I induce vomiting? She is healthy with occasionally a slight elevation in SDMA that our vet is following.

My 10-year-old heeler mix named Beemer has a loose canine tooth that may be infected. I am currently camping and unable to find a vet open today. Should I attempt to pull the tooth myself?
