I think our dog, Buzz Lightyear, might have lice, but I’m not sure what to look for and identifying bugs on his coat is difficult. He was in his outdoor pen and we noticed some smaller bugs on the ground near him. He was recently treated for fleas/ticks with preventative measures, but nothing for any health concerns. He is 2 years old and lives in New Jersey, where it has been very hot and muggy. We also live in a wooded area but our property is treated monthly for ticks, fleas, and other insects. Can you help identify if these bugs are lice and recommend any actions to take?

My dog, Romeo, a 10-year-old Pomeranian, fell off the stairs and is holding his front foot up. He doesn't seem to be in pain when touched, but he's still not using it. What should I do?

My medium-sized dog, Henry, ate a small amount of mac and cheese that might have contained garlic or onion. I'm worried about potential toxicity. Will the dog be okay, and what should I monitor for?

My 7-pound 8-month-old puppy chewed on a THC edible and swallowed a small portion smaller than a pencil eraser about an hour ago. The puppy, named Buckaroo, has not vomited and is currently acting wobbly. What should I do?

My dog, Bailey, a 7-year-old female, won't eat her breakfast, is slobbering more than usual, and keeps wanting to go outside to pee but nothing comes out. She urinated this morning but now seems to be struggling to urinate. She is drinking water but not eating, and her tummy feels normal. What could be the issue and what should I do?
