My dog, Astraya, has hives and I gave her Benadryl (25mg), but some hives remain and she is still itchy. She acts normal otherwise. What should I do before making an appointment with the vet, and what do the hives indicate?

My dog, Bullet, a 3-year-old Blue Heeler weighing 66 lbs, has been itching intensely for about a week, causing raw spots on his neck and side. He was previously treated for similar spots in August, but they seemed to have resolved. He is currently taking Benadryl, which provides temporary relief. What could be causing this persistent itching, and what should I do to address it?

My 8-month-old puppy, Arthur, has stopped eating his dog food and prefers human food. He has been given chicken and rice, but now he doesn't even want that. Today, he hasn't eaten anything and is sleeping more than usual, though he is still active and happy. He had jelly-like poop today. What can I do to entice his appetite and ensure he is healthy?

My dog, Milo, a 11-year-old Golden Retriever, has been experiencing diarrhea and vomiting for the past two days. The vomit is liquidy with food in it, and he has been rubbing the top of his nose in the carpet where he poops, causing it to bleed. He is eating and drinking less than usual and has been active at night but lethargic during the day. He has also been pooping on the carpet and rubbing his nose raw. Could he have eaten anything unusual, and what should I do?

My dog Fozzie, a 14-year-old miniature golden doodle, is limping on his back leg after straining it during a walk. He's eating, peeing, and pooping normally, but he limps more when he first gets up and then walks better. Should I seek emergency care or wait until I can see a vet on Tuesday?
