My dog has been lethargic this afternoon, still drinks water and goes outside, ate half a milk bone but is very sleepy, her eyes look bloodshot, and her breathing is heavier than usual. Should I be worried?

I have heard that Parastar Plus is more effective than Frontline Plus for deer ticks in Northern Minnesota, but I can't find any pet stores or vets in the central Minnesota area that sell Parastar Plus. They all recommend Frontline Plus. Is there a reason for this? Is Parastar Plus a health concern or problem?

I have a 7-year-old Snoodle who has suddenly gone blind within the last month. She has been tested for all tick-related and fungal diseases and does not have cataracts. Is there any chance of her getting her sight back?

Hello, I have a 9-year-old Shih Tzu/Maltese who developed skin irritation/rash/bumps on all 4 legs, specifically on the tops of her paws, after a visit to the groomer. She licks and chews constantly. I have tried cortisone spray, which seems to help. Could these be hot spots or razor burn? I want to be assured that it isn't anything more serious. Is there anything else I can do for her?

My border collie split his toenail to the quick last night while chasing something. It was bleeding a bit and he is favoring it. What do we need to do or watch for?
