My dog, Vaatu, age 8, has dandruff and brown spots on his skin, which I'm worried could be mites. He's been itchy for about a week, and we recently switched dog food brands. He hasn't vomited and there's no blood in his stool. What should I do?

My 2-year-old yellow lab, Quin, has been guarding her tail and tucking it between her legs since today. She went duck hunting this morning and showed no signs of injury then, but when we got home, my wife noticed the behavior. There is ruffled hair around the area of concern, but no obvious swelling or bleeding. She doesn't want to walk and prefers to lay down. What could be the issue, and what steps should I take before her vet appointment tomorrow?
