My Husky/Chow mix was diagnosed with mites and a bacterial staph infection. She was given oral medicine a week ago, but her itching is severe, causing her to bleed and lose her appetite. Her legs twitch from itching, and she has been to two vets already. What can be done to give her relief from the itching?

I have a 9-year-old male basset hound named Jesse who is becoming increasingly aggressive. His blood work was normal except for Lyme's disease, which he is being treated for. He also shows signs of separation anxiety when not near my husband. We have another male basset hound they've lived with for 8 years. What can be done to address Jesse's aggression and anxiety?

My dog chewed up my Bluetooth device and has been vomiting thick white vomit with green specks, not eating, and acting lethargic. Could the Bluetooth device be poisoning him, and what can I do if I can't afford a vet?

My dog passed away 2 years ago from heart failure. He was a 14-year-old Shih Tzu with relatively good health. He had dry coughing for three days before passing, and the emergency vet found heartworm, an enlarged heart, and cloudiness in the chest, possibly indicating cancer. I have several concerns: 1) Did my husband's decision to continue walking our dog for several hours around Philadelphia a month before his passing overwork his heart and contribute to his death? 2) Did the anesthesia and surgery a month before his passing, where a lump was removed and a decayed tooth was extracted, directly cause his passing? 3) Could I have saved or extended his life if I had brought him to the vet on the first day of his coughing?
