I have a dachshund named Sugar (5 years old, 11.6 lbs) and a pug named Trixie (13 years old, 9 lbs). Both dogs have fleas, and over-the-counter treatments are not working. Sugar has an allergy to fleas that causes black spots on her spine. Last year, Sugar was treated with Simparica, steroids, and antibiotics, while Trixie was given flea treatment. What additional treatments can be recommended for their flea infestation and Sugar's flea allergy?

My female bunny, Poly, has been whimpering and seems frightened. She was whimpering when kept with the male bunny, Poko, who tries to hump her. I have kept them separate, but Poly still whimpers and bit me when I tried to lift her. Poly is 4 months old and neither she nor Poko are neutered or spayed. What could be causing her behavior and should I be concerned about her possibly being pregnant?

Our 3-year-old Bull Terrier x Staffy, Luna, has extreme reactivity issues since we adopted her two years ago. She hasn't seen a vet in over a year due to her behavior, and she isn't on any medications. We would like to know if medication could help her, as we can't even walk her. What can we do to help Luna with her reactivity issues?
