Why do older dogs get tumors?
As dogs age, metabolism slows and organ systems decline, raising tumor risk. Chronic inflammation from past illness or injury can also trigger tumors over time. The most obvious sign is a lump somewhere on the body. Have a vet check it if suspected.
My dog was bitten by a German Shepherd (large, unvaccinated). The bite is on the paw, now swollen, with occasional twitching.

Dog with a little blood in stool and constant coughing
Blood in stool with coughing may come from lung infection, parasites, or lung injury. Coughing with blood can stem from bacterial, viral, or fungal pneumonia. Heartworm or lung fluke infection can also cause these signs. Take the dog to a vet to find the cause and treat.
A month ago my dog stopped eating and pawed its eyes; the eye turned gray-blue, then after shots improved, but on walks it has yellow pus discharge; at night it would not return to the crate.
A white film over the eyeball is mainly from corneal injury, glaucoma, or cataract; with pus it is likely corneal injury from trauma or foreign body. See a vet and use special eye drops.
My cat was bitten by a dog on the hind leg and belly, now not eating or drinking and hiding. Will it die?
From the photo, the bite is severe; disinfect wounds regularly to avoid infection. Get an X-ray for internal injury. Long refusal of food and water may cause death from dehydration; separate them, keep the cat calm, offer liquid food, and if it won't eat, get IV treatment.
What are the chances of internal bleeding after my kitten was bitten by a dog?
The chance of internal bleeding is hard to pin down; it depends on the dog's size, bite force, location, and the kitten's constitution. If it shows lameness, no eating, collapse, or blood in stool, see a vet for organ/bone injury.
