I discovered a flea infestation about 3 weeks ago. My dog's Seresto collar wasn't tight enough to be effective, so I replaced it and treated her with Capstar each week. I've treated my home twice, vacuumed daily, and washed bedding in hot water. Despite these efforts, I'm still seeing fleas and my dog is scratching. Is the Seresto collar still effective, and what else can I do to eliminate the fleas?

My 7-month-old German Shorthaired Pointer, Rip, was outside and when he came back in, he started making a constant sniffling sound, like he's breathing in through his nose. He struggled to drink water and sounded like he couldn't breathe. This started after he was running in the woods. He's not licking or scratching, but he likes to eat stuff outside. What could be causing this and what should I do?

My 13-year-old Shih Tzu, Wolfie, stopped eating Friday night and started vomiting midmorning Saturday. He has been eating grass and vomiting periodically, with clear and greenish vomit. He is alert and his eyes are clear, but he has done this before. How can I help him stop vomiting and prevent dehydration?

My dog has swollen eyes, is panting heavily, and trying to rub his face on the floor. We were just outside, and I'm not sure what he got into. What could be causing this and what should I do?

My 8-pound Poodle/Bischon/Maltese mix, Bella, started limping today with no apparent injury. She jumps into a metal cage when we work, and now she seems to be limping with both rear legs and keeps licking them. We checked her pads/paws and rinsed them, but didn't see anything. What could be causing her limping, and what should I do?

My 5-year-old miniature poodle suddenly stopped walking on her back legs this morning. She had a flea bath and was given flea medicine. She vomited once yesterday but has been eating fine. She whimpers in pain when her legs are pressed and uses her hind legs to scoot around. What could be causing this and what should I do?
