My 1-year-old American Pit Bull, Doobie, has a large scab on the back of his neck that has dried up and looks like it's about to fall off. There is yellow dried stuff around it, and his fur has fallen off around it. He has a history of skin allergies, and he was scratching intensely at his neck before the scab formed. What could be causing this, and how should I treat it?

I have a 2-year-old dog named Ayme. Recently, I've noticed mucus in her stool and she seems to have lower energy than usual. Her stools have been softer than normal with mucus, but no blood. She's not vomiting and her eating is fine, though she's not drinking much water. This morning, she was whining, which I think might be due to discomfort. Additionally, she's been licking things a lot, especially in the mornings, which I read could be a sign of acid reflux. What could be causing these symptoms and what should I do?

My dog, Jasper, fell off the bed and has a big knot on his side near his ribs, his shoulder is swollen, and he is carrying/dragging it around. He is also twitching a lot and pulling to the side. I'm not sure if his shoulder is dislocated or sprained, and I'm concerned about the knot on his side. Should I take him to the vet?

My dog ate rat poison. Can you call? I’m driving him to the emergency vet right now. We helped induce vomiting using hydrogen peroxide and he vomited 8 times. Is there anything else the Vet should know before I connect you?
