A few days ago, I noticed my dog had a tuft of fur missing from her scalp and a sore. The next day, the bald spot was bigger, there were more sores, and her scalp looked excessively greasy. Today, the bald spot is the size of a softball, it's covered in sores and this hunter green sludge. I tried to wipe off the green stuff, but either it won't come off or I wasn't putting enough pressure (It hurt her too badly.) I tried to cleanse it with salt water, but that did nothing. What is this?

My Staffordshire Terrier stopped eating about five days ago, now he's stopped drinking water and hasn't had a bowel movement since he went off his food. He's usually very friendly but now hides and wants to be left alone. I'm very concerned about his refusal to drink and constipation - and his breath smells extremely strong almost fecal like. Are enemas ever appropriate for dogs? Does this sound like a bowel obstruction? What would you do if this were your dog?

I accidentally gave my dog Tylenol for pain. What can I do to rectify the situation if anything?

What can we give our schnauzer to calm him down when around babies, especially since we now have a newborn grandchild living with us? We have to kennel him when kids come over, and I already tried a trainer, but it didn't work.

My dog has been throwing up and not eating for 3 days. She is up to date on all her shots. She vomited this morning and has been able to hold down water. She has been taking arthritis medication and an anti-itch spray from Petco, which she might have licked off. She doesn't get into the garbage but might have eaten something in the backyard. What could be causing her vomiting and what should I do?
