I have a Bernese Mountain Dog named Holly, who is nearly 7 years old. She has developed large patches of dry, flaking skin on her stomach and chest, which leave behind very sore, red patches when the dry skin comes off. Her coat on her back and neck is in good condition, but the hair on the affected areas also comes away with the dry flakes. She is overweight but otherwise healthy. I have tried various creams, soaps, and sprays, including Hibiscrub soap, Ancura gel, Lyvlee Leucillin antiseptic skin care spray, medicated spray, and Savulon, but nothing seems to help. What could be causing this and what can I do to treat it?

My dog has a big hole behind his ear with bugs in it. The neighbor's dogs jumped on him last Wednesday. He has never seen a vet and is not on any medications. His name is unknown, and he is 7 years old. I was looking for piney oil as a remedy. What should I do?

My yorkie poo has a quarter-size wart/skin tag on her back left hip that she chews, causing bleeding. She is 14 years old and has had this for several months. She is too old for surgery due to her heart. What can I do to help her heal? Additionally, she has her yearly obsessive scratching which occurs every October, making her miserable.

My brother's Pitbull, Miss Lady, hasn't been eating and vomits when she tries to eat. She is 6 years old and is not acting like herself. What could be causing this and what should I do?

My Belgian Malinois, Myah, has had ongoing vaginal issues that smell like rotten worms despite repeated vet visits and treatments. She is aggressive and resistant to ointments and coconut oil, requiring sedation for procedures. I recently put her on a strict, homemade diet with organic ingredients, but it hasn't improved her condition. What else can be done to help her?

My dog ate 20mg of THC from an edible. It happened sometime between 7 and 2 hours ago. I fed him food when I got home before I realized what had happened, and he vomited it up about an hour ago. Should I take him to a vet? Or should we wait it out? He is lethargic and seems 'glazed over'. He is a 50lb, 5-year-old lab mix.
