My dachshund, Farmer, who is 12 years old, has swelling above and below his eye since Thursday afternoon. The swelling seems to itch and looks fluidy. I have tried Benadryl and other remedies for a bite, but they did not help. I also have clindamycin left from his tooth surgery. What could be causing the swelling and what should I do?

My mom, who was a respected breeder, told me that salami is harmful for dogs due to its high fat content and can potentially shut down their kidneys if ingested in large amounts. I found my 3-year-old, 10 lb female poodle eating salami in the garage. Should I be concerned, and is there anything I should or shouldn't do?

My Great Dane has 10 puppies and her teats are breaking out in reddish spots, likely from the sharp puppy claws. Is it okay to use Vetericyn or Tropiclean Oxymed anti-itch spray on her, and how should I address her chin area which is bleeding slightly when she rubs it on carpets or towels?
