Should I take my dog, Luna (4 years old), to the vet for a sore on her snout that is a little bigger than a quarter and just appeared this week? The sore is not itchy, and Luna has not been licking or rubbing it. Is it possible to self-treat with a triple antibiotic ointment, or should I monitor the situation and seek veterinary care if it doesn't improve?

My 14-year-old Pomapoo, Oliver, woke up unable to poop (only mucus), has a fever, is lethargic, won't eat or drink, and has not peed all day. He tried to poop but couldn't, and I found no blockage when I lubricated my finger. He was active in someone's backyard yesterday but didn't eat anything unusual. What could be causing his symptoms, and what should I do?

My puppy, Cairo, has thrown up yellow bile twice today at 10:30 and 4:45. He hasn't eaten or drunk any water all day. He's naturally a chill dog and doesn't seem to be in pain. He's 9 weeks old, vaccinated, and dewormed. What should I do?

My dogs knocked down ant bait containing sodium tetraborate decahydrate and other unspecified ingredients. I don't know if they licked it or not. Is this poisonous to them, and what should I look for if they did ingest it?
