I have an 8-year-old chihuahua mix who recently started making popping or cracking noises when he stretches or moves, and sometimes yelps in pain for no apparent reason, occasionally trying to bite when petted or picked up. What could be causing this and what should I do?

My 9-week-old puppy, Ruger, started groaning and seemed restless about 30 minutes after eating his lunch. The only new thing he had was a Nylabone brand edible bone. He has had both a bowel movement and urinated since showing these symptoms. Now he's shivering and feels warm to the touch. His gums are pink and warm, only slightly moist. What could be causing these symptoms and what should I do?

I have a 5-year-old Mastiff who has a habit of eating socks and underwear. This time, she seems to have swallowed a larger sock, and after three days of vomiting and not eating, I'm worried it might be stuck. What can I do at home to help her pass the sock without needing surgery?

I have a 2-year-old yellow lab who is itching terribly, more now than ever. I feed him Orjen, first chicken formula, switched now to beef formula, and also give him two raw patties from Instinct. Nothing helps. What could this be?

My 5-year-old American Bulldog, Blaze, is experiencing head tremors, has a history of seizures, and has an excessively dry nose. He is currently not on any medication. Additionally, he had an unexpected bowel movement in the house, which is unusual for him. What could be causing these symptoms and what should I do?

My dog, Frank, a pug around 10 years old, has had recurrent mast cell tumors (MCT), with the first being a grade 2-3 and subsequent ones being grade 1. He has received radiation, chemotherapy, and surgical excision. Our vet is suggesting Palladia to possibly prevent recurrence. Will Palladia prevent the recurrence of mast cell cancer?
