I have a 1 1/2-year-old Boxer who keeps escaping despite various containment methods. He damages property and fights with other dogs when he gets out. I have plenty of toys, food, and water for him, and we spend a lot of time with him. Will neutering him help, and will getting an older dog to keep him company help?

My Golden Retriever has a skin odor. The dog is outdoors during the day and inside at night. There is no significant flaking, oiliness, dryness, or itching of the skin, and no obvious skin changes. What could be causing the odor and what can I do to address it?

My dog is limping and I gave her baby aspirin, but I'm concerned that masking the pain might prevent her from healing properly. She has a history of ligament injuries, including a previous ACL issue, and Lyme disease. She also has fatty tumors, though the vet said not to worry about them. What should I do to help her recover, and is there a holistic approach for potential arthritis treatment?

My dog was hit by a car and has a broken tail and rectum nerve damage. The vet doesn't think the nerves will repair. What are the chances of rectum reconstruction? Is it possible? She is going outside to wee and trying to pooh, which we found some small droppings inside the house. Does this mean she has some feeling back in her rectum? How long can it take for the nerves to repair? I'm very confused and devastated at the thought of possibly having to put her to sleep, which our vet recommends if her nerves don't mend. She is an inside dog and we think she is unaware that she is a dog. We love her dearly. Thanks in advance.

My 95-pound female Rottweiler just got into my neighbor's gopher poisoning. What should I do? She ate about half a cup of the pellets.

My chihuahua threw up yellow liquid multiple times after not eating all day. Should I take her to the emergency vet, or can I try home remedies first?
