My small terrier dog mix, Pele, threw up this afternoon and appears lethargic with a wet and cold nose, and pink gums. She is 7 years old, spayed, and had a full check-up and teeth cleaning with good lab work two weeks ago. Should I worry, and what should I do?

My dog, Bluejay, a 3-year-old, 130-pound dog, ate about 10 slices of moldy cheese about an hour ago. He hasn't vomited yet and is normally in good health. What should I do?

My dog is having seizures after encountering a bufo toad. He is panting, howling, and I believe he swallowed some of the toad's white liquid. I tried washing it off and gave him Nux Vomica, a homeopathic medicine for poisoning. How long should the seizure episode last, and is there anything else I should do?

My dog, Bob, has an itchy, smelly, flaky rash that causes him to scratch so intensely that his hair is coming off. He has been licking and rubbing the affected area since last week. What could be causing this and what treatments can help?

My dog, Amiya Boo, has been chewing on her paw for a few weeks. I noticed a knot that is tender and has pus when pulled. She also struggles getting up and off the couch and flinches when the knot is touched. There is an open wound with pus underneath the knot. What should I do to treat this and prevent further infection?

I'm seeking a second opinion on my 11-year-old male dog's x-ray. He was diagnosed with Osteosarcoma by an ER vet based solely on an x-ray, but we are skeptical because he had a non-cancerous biopsy result on the same arm a few months prior. Additionally, our previous vet in Oklahoma suggested that the symptoms he had last summer (sudden lameness in back legs, coughing, lethargy) could have been due to valley fever, which was not treated. My dog is currently acting normal, eating, drinking, and eliminating normally, and showing signs of improvement after resting his injured leg. What could be the cause of the lump on his shoulder, and should we consider further testing for valley fever?
