My yellow lab, Buster, is not laying down due to discomfort and has a hard stomach. He ate slower this morning, and I noticed he wasn't laying down much last night. He ate some Doritos a little bit ago. His breathing is okay, but he sits with discomfort and doesn't want to lay down. His gums are pink, but the inside of his mouth is cold. What could be causing his discomfort, and should I be concerned?

My dog Cooper, who weighs 55 lbs, may have eaten about 20 missing 200 mg generic Advil pills. We induced vomiting before going to the ER vet, but no pills were found in the vomit. He received charcoal and subcutaneous fluids at the ER vet and is now home. What should I do to monitor and care for him, and what are the potential risks?

My dog, Coco, a 4-year-old, has an ear that is bleeding. I just noticed it today, and it's a small amount. She keeps shaking her head. Should I take her to a 24-hour vet immediately or can it wait until the morning when the vet opens?

My dog, Dozer, is limping on one of his rear legs. It started two days ago and he has been progressively putting more weight on it, but still limps. He lets me stretch and massage his legs without any issues. I gave him dog aspirin from PetSmart to see if it would help. What could be causing the limp and what should I do next?
