My Shih Tzu, Spirit, has a round puncture wound around his bottom area that's been bleeding. He hasn't eaten since yesterday morning and is very lethargic. He seems to be in pain and won't let us touch him except to rub his upper body. Spirit is 10 years old and usually very active and always wanting to eat. What should I do?

Based on the symptoms described, it appears that Spirit may have a ruptured anal gland abscess. Here...

I have a 2-year-old pitbull named Babe. Recently, we noticed a skin tag on her chest that has grown large, become irritated, and is leaking a substance. She scratches it and it seems to hurt. Should I take her to the vet immediately or is there something I can do at home?

My dog, Ila, age 11, has random swollen spots on her snout that appeared suddenly in the last 30 minutes. She doesn't seem bothered by them and hasn't been licking or rubbing the spots. What could this be and what should I do?

My 6-month-old puppy, Delilah, threw up a few times last night with bamboo and an unidentified leaf in her vomit. She slept a lot today, didn't eat much, but has been drinking water and started playing with my other dog. She seems better but still not herself. Should I take her to the vet, or is it okay to monitor her condition?

My puppy ate some of my Kalanchoe plant, which is poisonous for dogs. The puppy is around 20 pounds and ate the plant about 10 minutes ago. There has been no vomiting yet. What should I do?

My 6-year-old Miniature Golden Retriever named Casper is acting very sedated, staring at the wall, hiding under the bed, and not interested in treats or food. He had a bit of food earlier and his stomach is gurgling. He has been like this for two nights. He did not vomit but had normal poop. He is not current on his heartworm prevention and has not had any cough. What could be wrong with him and what should I do?
