I have a 1.5-year-old pit-bull named Bart. We've had him for 4 months, and he spends a lot of time in the backyard through a doggy door. Recently, we found a dry, flaky patch on his back side that doesn't itch. I have pictures. What could this be, and what can I do about it?

I have an 8-month-old Cavalier King Charles Spaniel named Mae, who is larger than average according to KC standards, weighing 29 lbs, and is very active. Should we be concerned about her size or potential health issues such as heart disease?

My dog has a problem with her tooth. Can you watch the video and comment on it? If not, can you prescribe a medicine based on a picture of the tooth?

My mini goldendoodle has been regurgitating his food right after eating, at least 50% of the time, for the past week. He is 1 1/2 years old, has regular bowel movements, and his energy level is normal. He does not eat non-food items and has no other symptoms. Should I switch his dog food, and what else can I do to help him?

My 13-year-old dog is unable to put weight on his left front leg. There are no stickers in his paw, and he does not seem to be in pain. What could be wrong?

My dog has swollen haunches with very dry skin on them. The swelling was noticed today, but the severe dryness has been present for a couple of weeks. She is not licking the area but bites at her paws and front legs, causing blisters that pop and peel. She has been on antibiotics and steroids before for skin allergies, but this issue is different. I just started giving her Benadryl 22 milligrams this morning. She weighs around 11-12 pounds and is 7 years old. I feed her a rabbit-based food from my vet, but I'm considering switching to Avoderm. What could be causing this, and what should I do?
