My dog chewed up a Z-Pak yesterday. I don't know how many tablets he ingested. He weighs around 60 lbs, chewed the whole pack (6 tablets), and threw up 3 times yesterday. He has not eaten much today. His name is Max, he is around 6 months old, and he's a Collie.

My dog, Yogi, age 4, has bumps that scab over across his back and chest, appearing in clusters like human poison ivy bumps. The bumps were noticed last week, and they have multiplied since then. The groomer initially noticed and washed off some scabs, but they have since returned and increased in number. Yogi tries to scratch but cannot reach the affected areas. What could be causing these bumps and what can be done to treat them?

My dog, Moose, a 14 lbs, 11-month-old Havanese, started having bouts of diarrhea last night - dark brown puddle piles with some but not much form. He also vomited once in his crate and has been peeing tiny amounts multiple times. He might have licked a fork with a spicy coating from the dishwasher, but otherwise, he's not had any unusual food or drink. He did go to dog day care two days ago and is up to date on all his medication including NexGuard/Heartguard, which he was given 3 days ago. What could be causing this and what should I do?

My 10 1/2-year-old Shepherd/Lab mix started yelping when getting up or going up steps. The pain seems to be in his back legs or hips. He is on thyroid and Benadryl twice a day and I started him on 1000 mcg of Vitamin B12 yesterday morning and evening. What else can I do to help him?

My 9-year-old Tibetan Terrier has developed a resistance to eating his regular dog food, preferring to be hand-fed by me for several days. He is an intact male and at his normal weight, acting normally except for being more dependent on me. What could be causing this behavior and should I test him for heartworm before renewing his medication?
