I recently got a dog named Nova, who is about 4-5 years old and spayed. She has a history of skin issues, previously diagnosed as allergies, but I suspect it might be mites or mange. She has been treated with Apoquel, steroids, and antibiotics, but the condition persists. She has an odor, swollen paws, and ear infections. Her skin is very dry, and she has areas of hair loss. What could be causing these issues, and what immediate steps can I take to provide relief?

The persistent skin issues in Nova could be due to underlying conditions such as Hyperadrenocorticis...

My chihuahua mix, Max, is having trouble pooping and seems constipated. He has a soft ball near his rectum. What could be causing this and what should I do?

My 14-year-old Australian Shepherd, Buster, is off balance, sometimes falls over, and shakes his head several times a day. I suspect he has an inner ear infection and it's been going on for a couple of weeks. He also had a fall down the stairs around the time his symptoms started. What should I do?

My dog, Puff, was diagnosed with ketoacidosis diabetes on 9/29/21. I started giving her insulin, and on 10/1, the vet put a FreeStyle Libre on her. On 10/11, they checked her glucose and adjusted the insulin dose. On 10/25, they only checked her glucose with the FreeStyle Libre and did not provide any information about her condition. I think she is going blind. What should I do next?

My dog, Luna, a 3 1/2-year-old black lab weighing 60 lbs, ate a large bag of Twizzlers, sour gummies, a bag of espresso (not much consumed), and small glazed donut sticks about 2 hours ago. She has not shown any symptoms yet. What should I do?

My dog ingested 900mg or less of children’s chewable ibuprofen. She weighs 15lbs and I gave her 3 tablespoons of hydrogen peroxide. She’s acting normal. What should I do next?
