My 11-month-old Labrador is easily tired, has excessive hair loss, a runny nose, drooling, panting, yawning a lot, face rubbing, and paw licking. The vet's blood test was normal except for elevated thyroid values. What could be causing these symptoms and what further steps should I take?

I have two dachshunds who developed diarrhea, one (Chloe) first and then the other (Oscar). Chloe's stools are watery yellow with a food-like odor and she had a couple of vomiting episodes on day one, but her personality has returned and her stools are more formed now. Oscar's stools are watery, green, and have a foul odor. We feed them Purina One brand dog food and recently switched flavors to lamb. We also dog sat for a friend recently. What could be causing this and what treatment should we follow?

I have an eight-year-old female pitbull. Occasionally, she suffers from joint pain in her rear leg. I can't afford the $220 vet bill to take her in for evaluation and pain medication at the moment. Are there any over-the-counter medications that can provide her with safe and effective short-term relief?

My dog's scrotum is black with a very big red patch in the middle (slightly bigger than a 2 pound coin), it looks like a graze more than anything. Any ideas?

My dog has a severe case of eczema and has scratched herself so badly that she has some scabbing. Is there a cream I can use to help her until we can get her to a local vet?
