I have a Great Pyrenees with excessive barking disorder. She barks inside the house and is a nuisance to neighbors, leading to police visits. She is on medication (100 mg of Trazodone twice a day and 40 mg of Prozac once a day) but continues to bark excessively. She is one year old and has had this problem for six months. We are considering obedience training but are unsure how effective it will be in reducing her barking. What additional steps can be taken to address her excessive barking?

My dog, Peewee, a small mixed breed, has had seizures all his life and is now 10 years old. He is having difficulty walking, yelps when picked up under his tummy, holds his left back leg up, and has been having asthma-like attacks. He has also been chattering his teeth. What should I do to help him, and should I consider euthanasia due to his age and worsening conditions?

My dog has a cut that won't close, partly over a fatty cyst. It happened a week ago. Should I try to glue it with pet glue, or is there a better way to treat it, especially since it's not where I can put a bandage?

I have a fourteen-year-old black lab with a history of allergies, pancreas problems, and valley fever. He is currently on Apoquel for his allergies, which seems to be working. However, I noticed that he was not as itchy when I forgot to give him Apoquel for about four days. Can he be given this medication as needed?
