I've adopted a pit bull that was abandoned and appears to be around 7-8 months old. She has several round, pink, irritated spots on her body, including her forehead and between her shoulder blades, which she scratches frequently. I've given her several baths but haven't seen any fleas. What could these spots be, and how can I treat them until I can take her to the vet next month?

I adopted my puppy one week ago and she had weird bumps on her belly but the vet told me it was just eczema. They prescribed a topical spray which I used twice a day, but now a bump has gotten severely worse and looks like a blister. She also has kennel cough but is better now. What does this bump look like, and should I rush her to the vet today or is it okay to wait until tomorrow?

Our English Bulldog, Zamboni, is experiencing issues with her third eyelid. We are unsure if it's mechanical or infectious and need to know if it's serious enough to take her to the emergency vet today or if we can wait until tomorrow to see her regular vet. She has a history of seizures but hasn't had one in 7 years, and she is currently on medication for seizures and recurrent UTIs.

My 4-year-old puppy, Juno, has had several bowel movements indoors for the past 3 days, which is unusual for her. Her stools were initially wet but somewhat defined, and she has continued to have diarrhea despite fasting for 12 hours and slowly reintroducing food as advised by Banfield. I am concerned and unsure if I should take her in for further evaluation, especially since Banfield is closed for the next few days. What should I do?
