I am a first-time golden retriever owner and have noticed that my 3-year-old dog, Bella, snorts while sighing, especially when she lays down to relax. It sounds like a back-to-back snort and is very short-lived. I am concerned and have read about potential issues such as masses or other health problems. Should I be worried, and what steps should I take?

My 9-year-old overweight Chihuahua named Princess is panting a lot, has a rapid heartbeat, and is gagging. Her breathing gets rough after excitement. What could be causing this and what should I do?

My 3-year-old lab/great dane mix has had a skin issue for about a month. He's been on Apoquel, prednisone, and antibiotics, and has been bathed with several different antifungal shampoos, but it's still not better. A month ago, I noticed white flakes and sores that have multiplied all over his body, looking like whelps. What could be causing this and what further steps can I take?

My puppy, Kal-El, has a bare spot by his ear that lost hair and is red with scabbing. I noticed it about two weeks ago, and he occasionally licks or rubs the area. He is 20 weeks old, scratches often, and has been around other dogs. He's a mix of lab, hound, and cattle dog. What could be causing this and what should I do?
