I have a 10-year-old Rottweiler who has been hacking deeply for a few months and recently started licking the carpet, which I associate with nausea. I changed his dog food around the same time, but I'm not sure if that's related. He has no known health conditions except for some limps that the vet doesn't think are cancerous. What could be causing these symptoms?

We have a dog who was hit by a car in a remote area in northern Canada. The dog's tail is infected, and it has been about 3 days without veterinary care. The dog is in pain and won't allow anyone to clean the wound. How can we clean the wound until the dog can receive proper treatment?

I have heard that Parastar Plus is more effective than Frontline Plus for deer ticks in Northern Minnesota, but I can't find any pet stores or vets in the central Minnesota area that sell Parastar Plus. They all recommend Frontline Plus. Is there a reason for this? Is Parastar Plus a health concern or problem?

My 14-year-old dog has developed lupus that attacks her red blood cells. What is the prognosis and can she have quality of life without pain and discomfort?

My grandmother's new dachshund is showing signs similar to her previous dachshund, which included swollen spots around the mouth, inflamed ears with discharge, crusty eyes, and the development of large lumps. The previous dog was eventually put down by the vet after unsuccessful treatments. What could be causing these symptoms in the new puppy, and should it be kept quarantined from other dogs?
