Possible HD?

Hi all. My bf and I adopted a 4 month old puppy a couple weeks ago and took him in for hip X-rays because his walk looked a little funny at times. The vet said she suspects hip dysplasia based on the X-rays, but was on the fence. We have opted to have his images sent to a radiologist to confirm/deny. Regardless, I feel like you can’t have too many opinions and I have such bad anxiety waiting, so figured I would post here in case anyone has experience with puppies with HD and what the X-rays look like. So far, he acts like a normal puppy. He runs, plays, and doesn’t ever act in pain. He was apprehensive to play the first week we had him, but he was very malnourished and underweight and has since had his personality and playfulness come out a ton!

My dogs paw is swollen and pussing, not for the first time

My English bulldog’s paws often get swollen. He doesn’t chew at his paws at all but his paw seems to be getting worse. the vet says it’s allergies which i believe, but this is the first time it has started to puss. it also looks like there’s a hole in it. he is on apaquil, i soak his paws in unscented epsom salts every so often, i have special cleaning pads and he gets bathed once a week with special shampoo. It is not food allergy related as he is only on his hypoallergenic food and gets nothing else. Any advice or recommendations!? or does anyone know wth this issue is!!?

I initially thought it was fleas as he had gotten into contact with another dog with fleas but after neck drops and others the rash got worse.

How Do Dogs Know What’s Edible?

How do dogs know which wild plants are edible and which aren’t? I have a rescue (cattle dog/pointer/hound mix) that lived in the wild for a bit as a puppy and she forages whenever she can. She’s always sniffing her way to something tasty and in the 7 years I’ve had her she’s never been poisoned. Last week I saw her eating mushrooms in the yard which is what prompted me to post. I like to forage myself sometimes, but wild mushrooms make me nervous even with a guidebook in hand. Either somehow she knows that puffballs are edible and the other wild mushrooms here aren’t, or ??? Is this something I need to worry about, or is my dog just smarter than me? I know she’s smart, but I’ve had dogs my whole life and they never messed with mushrooms (or wild plants for that matter).

11 Month Pup has Bump on her Cheek

I want to start this off by saying I have a vet appointment booked already. I just want to see if anyone else has gone through this. My pup has a hard, marbled sized bump on her cheek. It moves around and doesn’t seem to be bothering her when I touch it. I really hope it’s not a tooth abscess but I can’t find a lot of information on what those feel like!! I looked at her teeth and gums and they both look fine. Her teeth are actually in really good shape. She has also be shaking her head a lot since I’ve noticed the bump. Maybe it’s a lymph node?? I truly cannot find any information on something like this and it’s killing me. My poor baby girl.

Dog has cyst-like bump on his penis

Has anyone experienced/seen this before? Do we think it will clear up on its own or should I bring him to the veterinarian? It looks like if it were to pop, pus would come out. He’s around 8 years old! TIA
