We have a 10-year-old black lab who had surgery 3 months ago for an infection in his leg. Since then, he has developed a scabby skin condition and inflammation on his scrotum, followed by a severe dry nose, cracking, scabbing, and peeling. The vet suggested using bag balm, but the condition persists. The dog is otherwise healthy, with the same energy, good appetite, and sense of smell. What could be causing the persistent nose condition, and should we be concerned about long-term effects or if it is painful or fatal?

My dog, Hitch, seemed extra tired this morning. He did his potty break, came in for his favorite treat but did not eat it, laid down, and I noticed shaking and his left eye was partly closed. What could be causing this and what should I look out for?

My dog, Mosby, an English Springer Spaniel, ate a 2 oz tin of Skin Soother by the Natural Dog company. The ingredients are all organic, including Coco Butter, sweet Almond oil, Coconut oil, Safflower oil, Candelilla Wax, Sea Buckthorn oil, Lavender, Chamomile, Frankincense, Myrrh, Vetiver, Naiouli, Benzoin, and Vit E. I was using it for a dermatitis problem in the folds of his lip line. What should I do?

My dog ate about 10-15 mini chocolate candies (small Hershey bars, mini Kit Kats, and mini Reeses cups) a few hours ago. He weighs 75 lbs and seems okay for now, but was shaking his head and ears a little bit recently. How can I monitor him and what should I do?

My 12-year-old Pointer mix dog, Acorn, has had diarrhea for the past 3 days, with blood present on the first day and heavy blood today, along with vomiting. He has also had bad gas but normal appetite and energy levels. He has not eaten anything unusual and has not been eating grass. What should I do?
