A friend's dog was taken and she was charged with animal abuse. The dog recently lost all its hair. What could be causing the hair loss, and how can we determine if it's bacterial, fungal, or related to a skin parasite?

My four-year-old Beagle Claire was running around outside and suddenly yelped and is now limping on her right back leg. There is no visible sign of injury and nothing feels broken. She doesn’t seem to mind me touching it (hip, leg, or paw). I’m wondering if she just pulled a muscle and if there is anything over the counter I can give her? She was 41 lbs at her last weigh-in.

I have a Scottish Terrier, Emma, who is a year and two months old. She has been digging in my newly re-done garden and chewing on my living room carpet, which has been a concern since March. I am struggling to stop her from these behaviors and am frustrated with the situation. What can I do to address her digging and chewing issues?

I just got a new puppy named Arthur, a 10-week-old Miniature Schnauzer. He cries and barks when I put him in his playpen or crate while I'm working, especially if he can see me. He's most content on my lap, but I don't want to create that as a habit. How can I prevent over-coddling him and encourage proper behavior without causing him distress?
