We have a 7-year-old male boxer named Chance who suddenly won't put any weight on his right rear leg, his toes are curled on that paw, and he holds the leg high. He also seems to be craving water and has had trouble controlling his bladder in the last 2 days. Chance has bad food allergies and is on a grain-free diet with no treats, taking Apoquel once a day. What could be causing these symptoms and what should we do?

My dog, Vinnie, a chihuahua mix, has a lump on his leg that he keeps licking. It doesn't hurt him when I touch it. What could this lump be and what should I do to treat it?

Can my stage 3 CKF dog have cubed steak, and is it okay to mix her prescription kidney diet with boiled chicken breast or hamburger to encourage her to eat?

My 11-pound dog, Scooter, ate about 1.5 to 2 ounces of dark chocolate an hour ago and seems fine. Should I monitor him, and if he shows gastrointestinal distress, would it happen within a few hours? He recently recovered from a GI issue and was on medicine to prevent vomiting.

My dog was attacked by another dog and struck with a stick from the other dog's owner. It's been 34 hours and she hasn't gone to the bathroom. She has a cut on her leg and ear, and bite marks around her neck. She's been given Tramadol and an antibiotic. What could be wrong, and what should I do?

Should I give my dog any more supplements for her kidney disease, such as fiber, chia seeds, fish oil, CoQ10, or Azodyl? She is currently taking standard process renal support, aluminum vitamins phos-bind, and pepcid, everything twice a day. She's 68 pounds. Am I giving her too much? Between the CoQ10 and the salmon oil, which would you recommend I start her on first?
