I have a 9-year-old female French Bulldog named Monet who is allergic to flax and grain mites. She recently had an allergy flare-up, was prescribed Apoquel, but experienced severe side effects including a swollen vulva. After stopping the Apoquel, she developed a firm bump on her head. What could this bump be, and what should I do about it?

I have a 9-year-old dog named Benny who has shown significant behavioral changes over the past week, including reluctance to jump, increased clinginess, restlessness, constant panting, refusal to go outside, and disorientation. Despite a vet visit with bloodwork, X-rays, and medication for a suspected muscle strain, his symptoms persist. His stools have been looser than normal, and he sometimes digs for rabbit droppings in the backyard. What could be causing these behaviors, and is there a way to manage this condition?

I have a six-year-old Havanese named Pickles. Recently, I have been dealing with a parasitic infection, and after 9 weeks, doctors are still unsure if I can pass it to my dog. One physician mentioned a small bacterial infection in my blood, which is safe for Pickles. However, the parasite issue is still uncertain, with only one infectious disease doctor suggesting it might be a type unknown to attack humans. My regular doctor said I could bring her back home, which I did. What are your thoughts, and is there any treatment my vet may want to give her?
