Cat with possible purple tumor
Are purple masses/tumors generally cancerous? Or are all tumors generally purple in cats? They were found above the knee of my cat (. Any chance they are hemangomias( or however you spell it)? There’s this purple mass above her knee - she’s a 6yo Domestic Short Haired neutered female.

I just noticed that one of my dog’s (3yo female neutered black Labrador) glands on the outside of her anus is swollen a bit and a little red.
she scraped her bottom along the carpet and is licking it a bit more.
we have been swimming in the lake a lot and was wondering what she has and what i can do.

Catching a feral cat
This is a feral cat (3yo female) that lives in my garage. She hangs around but will not let me touch her. Her hair is starting to get matted and she has fleas. I need to get her to a vet but can not get her into a cat carrier. I have tried food and catnip. No luck. She had kittens a little over a year ago and they are great. She let me pet her for awhile after they were born. That was the last time she was at the vets. Is there anyway I can help her? She is darting around the yard like a crazy cat. Because of the fleas. She needs help. Thank you in advance.

Dog with heart and hip problem
My dog (6yo Rottweiler/Shepherd mix male neutered) has a hip problem and what my vet thinks is a torn ligament. He doesn’t seem to be in pain but I took him for x-rays and while he was under for the x-rays, the doctor noticed an irregular heartbeat. So she took an X-ray of his chest as well. She said he might have an enlarged heart or cardiomyopthy. So the next step was an EKG. The results came back with some gaps in the heartbeat and the doctor has now recommended an ultrasound. She says that we need to worry about the heart problem before we even worry about doing surgery to help his hip and knee. I want some kind of second opinion on what I should do. I guess my question is, is it true that we should get the heart problem looked at before we worry about his hip problems? He is the happiest dog ever and doesn’t seem to be in pain. I have researched the heart problems in dogs and he doesn’t have the symptoms that they suggest come along with heart problems like loss of appetite and heavy breathing or panting when there is no physical activity. But if there is no guarantee for hip surgery when he has a heart problem, then I guess I don’t want to take the chance. I am very confused and very broke from the cost of everything. I need help.
