I have a Dachshund/Terrier mix named Bugsy. For the past 2-3 years, the inside of his foot pads have stayed red and inflamed. My vet has tried antibiotics, anti-fungus pills, and recently blood work to identify allergens, which showed he is predominantly allergic to dust mites, pine cone needles, and a host of fungus. He has been on a serum to build resistance and has had treatments with Apoquel, Cytopoint, Fluconazole, and Phytovet CK Antiseptic wipes, but nothing has worked for more than 2 days. His pads and in between are still red and itchy, and he chews on his feet. Is there anything else I could be trying?

The chronic inflammation and redness in Bugsy's foot pads could be due to a combination of allergens...

My dog ate two 60 count bags of pill pockets. He's pacing, drinking a lot of water, and rolling around. What should I do?

I have a 1.5-year-old male Chihuahua named Gus Gus who is shaking violently, having diarrhea, crying when picked up as if in pain, and not acting normally. He also has a heart murmur and undescended testicles with one lodged in his abdomen. What could be causing his symptoms and what should I do?

My 10-year-old Italian Greyhound mix, Gigi, has started displaying blood in her urine. She has a history of a minor heart murmur and eats Hill's Diet for kidney issues. She's acting normally and not in pain, but she just vomited a small amount of white and clearish fluid. What could be causing the blood in her urine and should I take her to the vet immediately?

My dog's neck is suddenly swollen, hard, and oozing. He's walking funny, didn't eat his food, and is drooling a lot. His name is Winston, he's a 7-year-old, 225lb English Mastiff. I shaved and washed the affected area, and he might have been stung by a scorpion.

My chihuahua, Redd, has been eating insulation and threw up pink. She is 6 years old, weighs 10.7 lbs, and is taking dexamethasone 5mg. Should I take her to the vet?
