I have an 80 lb Golden Retriever named Buddy who was boarded for the last 2.5 days. He has sores between some toes which he is frantically licking. I gave him 25mg of Benedryl. I donāt have a collar to put on him and for tonight donāt have any antibiotics except Bacitracin. Is Bacitracin safe for dogs? Tomorrow the vet is closed, so he canāt get anything he might need until then unless I can get something at a store tomorrow. He is 16 months old and up to date on all shots, only has heartworm meds, and had an injection for allergies a month ago. Could this be the result of being anxious at the boarding place and just licking his feet over and over?

My dog, a 2-year-old Bichon Shih Tzu mix named Mr. Tugs, has been experiencing vomiting, diarrhea with blood, and decreased playfulness. He vomited foamy material and had gel-like diarrhea. He recently ate Thanksgiving scraps, which he doesn't usually have. What could be causing these symptoms and what should I do?

My 6-year-old English bulldog, Chuck, had all his shots a week ago. Now, when I try to pet him under his chest, he acts like he is going to throw up, but it's not in the same place. He is not eating his dog food but will eat his treats. What could be the issue and what should I do?

I have two 11.5-year-old purebred English Springer Spaniels, Toby and BrettNic, who have been on Purina Pro Plan Turkey for Senior Dogs for over 6 years. Purina has discontinued this food, and I need to switch them to a new food without making them too ill. They sometimes have sensitive stomachs and aggression issues, which we manage by keeping them separated. What new food can I switch them to and how should I transition them to the new food?

My 6-month-old Husky, Denali, stole and ate 2-3 pills of Drontal. Is it dangerous for him?

My dog, Mazy, who will be 10 in February 2020, is recovering from an ulcer that bled into the stool. The bleeding started before Thanksgiving, and treatment began on November 25th with Sucralfate, Entofloxacin, and Famotidine. On December 2nd, Mirtazapine 7.5 was added once a day. We've tried various foods like fresh chicken, peanut butter, cottage cheese, broth, canned dog food, and pumpkin to encourage eating, but we're still forcing the food as there are no signs of appetite. What else should we know or do?
