My 12-year-old standard poodle, Athena, has a spindle cell tumor on her abdomen that was removed, but we are awaiting the full pathology report. Given her age and the tumor's location, what are the reasonable treatment options if the tumor is aggressive or invasive?

My 2-year-old dog, Scampi, ate everything bagel seasoning and cream cheese he found on the ground, along with a sizeable piece of the wrapper. He's been vomiting and had a bit of diarrhea ever since and is currently lethargic. Should he see an emergency vet?

My dog is scratching her ears a lot, shaking a little, and wobbly, as if her equilibrium is off. She's also biting herself on her back, legs, and nipples. She was recently hospitalized for eating chocolate brownies. What should I do to help her?

My 10-year-old Golden Doodle, Tebow, injured his back left leg while walking on a soccer field. He yelped and immediately stopped putting weight on it. There are no visible injuries, and he doesn't show pain unless I try to raise his leg. I suspect he might have dislocated his leg. Should we wait until tomorrow to see a vet?

I have four standard poodles, two of which have a skin condition. The vet has been unable to diagnose the issue and has prescribed antibiotics.

What could be causing this skin condition, and what steps can I take to diagnose and treat it?
