My 10-year-old German Shepherd has a recurring sore lump on his lower jaw that disappears with antibiotics but returns after treatment ends. The vet suspects osteomyelitis and is planning a biopsy for cancer. Is it safe to keep him on a low dose of antibiotics for a few months, and what type of antibiotics would be most effective for this issue?

My pug, Chocolate Chip, ate some Starbucks vanilla syrup. The ingredients are sugar, water, natural flavorings, potassium sorbate E202, and citric acid E330. I don't know how much he ate, but he is whining and has not vomited. He ate his dinner and is taking Apoquel daily for a skin rash. What should I do?

My 11-month-old dog peed himself while sleeping last night. He has never done this before. Should I be worried? He is acting normal in every other aspect so far.

My 10-year-old pug, Ozzie, has scales or scabs on his back, each side of the backbone. He has had an ear infection for life, is deaf from birth, and has retinal degeneration. His hair growth has decreased, and he drinks more water and pees more frequently. He has been on antibiotics and a shampoo, but the scabs have increased recently. What could be causing the scabs, and what further steps can be taken?

My dog has seasonal allergies and ear infections that usually resolve in winter but have continued this year. Symptoms include scratching, hair loss, shaking head, increased drinking, changes in eating habits, and decreased enthusiasm. I want to address the underlying cause rather than just treating the symptoms. What could be causing this and what steps should I take?
