Already have a vet appointment, but can’t get me in until Tuesday so trying to figure out if I should go to emergency clinic.

Yesterday my little guy starting limping. Checked out his paw and felt all around nothing in there, so thinking he either walked on something or got stung by something. He is still his normal self and showing no signs of anything else, but obviously something is wrong with his paw, it’s swollen and red. I called my vet immediately, with it being holiday weekend I couldn’t get an appointment until Tuesday. I can take him to an emergency clinic and that is what I am trying to figure out if I should do right now. It doesn’t seem to bother him all the time, sometimes he limps, sometimes he doesn’t. He’s licking it a lot, but other than that no other negative reactions or anything in his behavior is concerning. So should I go to emergency clinic?

Going to have to say goodbye to this big guy soon, he has lymphoma cancer. I am glad that we picked you up from that shelter Ewok, the house won't feel the same without you.

Feeding him is the worst, just seeing his big puppy dog eyes, his smile, his tail wagging, and his ears all perked up. I will always miss you you big cuddle bug.

Does anyone know how accurate the recipes in this book are at meeting the daily needs of a dog? Click image to see title, it's in polish though.

It seems well written and provides links and some references.
