I have a 3-year-old standard dachshund who experiences severe pain episodes every 2-3 months, characterized by rolling on his back, trying to climb all over me, crying, and literally screaming. He has been examined by a vet multiple times, including x-rays and CT scans, but no physical cause has been found. He is currently being treated with muscle relaxers and Rimadyl, but the episodes continue. What could be causing these painful episodes and are there alternative treatments available?

My 11-year-old cocker spaniel has had dry dandruff-type spots on her back for the past 6 months. When rubbed off, hair comes out and shows red, moist areas. She has been treated with antibiotics and fuciderm gel, but new spots have appeared. What could be causing this and what should I do?

My 3-year-old, 14 lb dachshund vomited bright neon yellow liquid this morning. I am concerned because she ate a pistachio shell at the beach on Friday evening. Are there any other symptoms I should be aware of, and what should I do to help her?

My 7-year-old Chihuahua/Shih Tzu mix had a proptosed globe in her left eye. The vet prescribed Ak Poly Bac ointment to be applied to the eye. What is the best way to get the ointment in her eye? Her eye is sutured closed except for a small opening towards her nose. I've tried warming the ointment to make it less thick, but I'm still having difficulty getting it in her eye.
