HELP! Swollen gums (pic)

Simon has a large "raspberry" sized swelling over one tooth (upper canine). Here is a picture. i am waiting for my vet to call back to see if he should come in tonight or if it can wait. It looks terrible. he is eating and drinking and shows no sign of pain. it looks like abscess or (god forbid) a tumor. does this look like anything anyone has seen?

Diarrhea and not wanting to eat...

Mason has had diarrhea for the last few days and I have been giving him maalox but it doesn't seem to be doing anything. Is there something else I could possibly give him? Also he has been on Bravo raw food for 3 weeks and the last few days he is not wanting to eat anything(when the diarrhea started he stopped eating it so im hoping it is just from his stomach being upset) I don't understand why he has diarrhea though because I had not given him anything different.. could he possibly have like a stomach virus I wonder?

does anyone use apple cidar vinegar??

i remember reading a while back that someone (can't remember who) used 1 tblsp of apple cider vinegar in the drinking water for different skin issues?? my cooper has had chin acne on & off for a while & monday he got an idc & his face wrinkles are red & irritated, grrrr. i haven't switched anything, but my sister babysat saturday, but swears she didn't give him anything different. it's possible he could have gotten into something & she didn't know. anyway, he's fine every other way- just the skin irritations.

Is Vaseline safe to lubricate a bully's nose?

I noticed that Tuffy's nose is kind of dry. Is Vaseline safe to use on the outside (not in the nostrils) or is there something better and safer our there?

Itching himself?

Quick question about our bulldog he will sit on his butt and flip from side to side like he is try to itch not picking up his legs (just his butt on the floor?) he falls over into walls and doors doing it. Has anyone else seen this and is that what he is doing? Or is it something else that we should be worried about.
Thanks

what does any eye ulcer look like?

I just noticed today Oscar has a red mark on his eyeball, looks like a broken blood vessel. In previous posts I have said our vet thinks he has entropian & I am getting a second opinion from an opthomlogist in a few weeks (soonest appt I could get sad.gif) I called our vet today because around his right eye is red & I also noticed a little bald spot on his side. When I got home from work I noticed the red spot in his right eye!!!
