My dog, Frankie, a 9-month-old retriever mix weighing 40 lbs, ate a half bar of oatmeal-based soap from Whole Foods. Is this an issue?

My dog vomited after eating, with undigested food and bloody-tinged mucus. She hasn't vomited in the last 24 hours, is eating a bland diet, drinking water, and peeing, but hasn't pooped since she went all day without eating. I gave her 1/2 tab of a 10mg Pepcid twice. Should I still take her to the vet, and how long should she stay on Pepcid?

My golden retriever, Ella, has an abscess on her ear. I am a nurse and would like to drain this myself if possible. Can I drain this with a sterile needle and syringe?

My 5-month-old dog, Joe, ripped up and possibly ate some of a plastic furniture tarp. I'm not sure how much he actually ate, but it was probably 5 hours ago. What should I do to ensure he's okay and avoid any potential health issues?

My 138 lb 12-year-old German Shepherd has developed lumps and bumps over the years, including a hard round nodule on his rib cage. He has also been wheezing, snoring, and rattling when sleeping, which starts as soon as he puts his head down. I can't afford to take him to the vet due to financial constraints. What could be causing these symptoms, and is there anything I can do to help him at home?
