My mixed breed male dog, Otis, who is 3 years old and weighs 60lbs, has a bladder infection. I called my vet for a medication refill, but they can't provide anything until Monday. I'm concerned about waiting that long. What can I do in the meantime to help Otis, and should I take him to an emergency vet for antibiotics?

My dog, Riley, a 6-year-old, has a swollen paw and won't put pressure on it. She licks the swollen area and it feels warm. We noticed this one day ago and couldn't find any bite marks or foreign objects in her paw. What could be causing this and what should I do?

My black lab, Jax, ate about half of a Vaseline chapstick tube. He is 3 1/2 months old and weighs around 20 lbs. He hasn't vomited and is breathing weird while sleeping. What should I do?

My dog, Teke, age 6, is licking the carpet and experiencing frequent hacking. She vomited three times about 6 hours ago, likely due to a mixture of hair and grass. She has been eating grass regularly and has some anxiety. She had her shots yesterday and was given medication for anxiety, which caused an upset stomach. What could be causing her hacking and what can I do to help her?

Our dog, Misha, has a sticky/crusty discharge from one eye. We first noticed it on Wednesday, and it's a little better now. She hasn't been rubbing her eye, but it's a bit red. What should we do?
