This certainly looks like a mass that should be examined by your veterinarian ASAP. It is not possible to say from a photo whether it is benign or malignant, but black masses on the paws very often are malignant. Your vet will decide whether to take it off right away in its entirety or whether to do a biopsy first and send it in to a lab. Please do not let Dane lick it, as he may cause bacteria to enter any abrasions on the mass and cause an infection.

Poor sugar. There are many possibilities and if she is unable to drink and eat or has a recent history of coughing or panting must be assessed by a vet, contact your local charities or enquire about care credit. Vestibular disease is a common cause if affected balance in senior dogs, often characterised by rapid eye movement at rest. Many of these patients improve with time as long as they are able to drink and stay hydrated without vomiting. Liquid food can be offered if not eating

Thanks for using Boop by Petco! Dog cannot eat sweeties for the most part because these tend to be too rich. Also, some of these sweets are made with a sugar substitute called xylitol which is highly toxic to dogs. Good luck and have a great day!

I really don't think it is anything to be worried about. I am not sure why he would have this smell. Usually a sweet smell of the breath is in relation to diabetes but her sure is young to have that, but it is not impossible. I suggest you just keep monitoring him and if the smell does not resolve or you start noticing her is drinking a lot of water and peeing a lot more he should see a vet.

Nikki is adorable! Thanks for including pictures! Yes, PetSmile is expensive, but it is one of the only toothpastes to actually be approved by the Veterinary Oral Health Council. Here is a list of their approved products. http://www.vohc.org/VOHCAcceptedProductsTable_Dogs.pdf PetSmile is what I use with my dogs. (Last year they ran a 25% off sale before Christmas, so I stocked up!) Yes, it is fine to use Dawn on Nikki's feet daily, but I suspect any gentle cleaner would be fine as well. You may have to experiment to find the best shampoo for her. I have been very pleased with EarthBath products, so you might want to try their Oatmeal and Aloe shampoo for itch relief. https://earthbath.com/product/oatmeal-aloe-shampoo/ There are also prescription itch relief shampoo and conditioner products if needed that you can talk to your vet about. Good luck! I hope that was helpful and answered your questions. Thanks for using Boop by Petco.
