My dog, Daisy, a 4-year-old Chihuahua, has had swelling on her snout since Wednesday night. She is eating and drinking, not lethargic, but her gums are red. I'm concerned it might be an infected tooth. When should I become concerned, and what should I do?

I have a 150-pound Cane Corso named Duke who ate half a cup of uncooked oatmeal. I'm not sure when it was, but it was between 11:30 and 6. He hasn't thrown up and I already fed him his dinner. Is this amount of uncooked oatmeal harmful to him, and what should I do?

My sister's guinea hen, Carol, stopped walking around on Sunday, was okay for a few days, and then stopped walking again yesterday. She is sitting with both legs splayed out in front of her. There are no signs of discharge from the eyes or nose, and she was seen drinking, but it's unknown if she has eaten. What could be the issue and what should be the next steps?
