My dog, Buddy, a 13-year-old cocker/cavalier mix, has a sore on her face that hasn't healed for a couple of months. It was initially thought to be a skin tag from grooming, but it hasn't healed and is bloody with lots of dried blood around it. There is no swelling, and Buddy has some hip issues. She rubs her face on the ground, possibly irritating the sore. What could be the issue, and what should I do?

My dog, Nena, ate a big steak bone and has been vomiting, with bone fragments in her vomit. She has also had yellow stools with mucus. She seems hungry and energetic, but I'm concerned about potential intestinal perforation or obstruction. Should I be worried, and what should I do?

My 15lb multipoo, Archie, ate half a chocolate chip cookie with an unknown amount of chocolate chips around 1800 this evening. He has shown no signs of illness yet, is resting, and drinking water as usual. He is 7 years old, healthy, and takes omperzole 10mg for GERD. Should I be concerned about the chocolate, and what should I monitor for?

My 1-year-old dog, Marvel, is throwing up liquidy vomit, has runny stool, and is lethargic. She likes to chew on socks, but I'm not sure if she ate anything unusual. What could be causing this and what should I do?
