My 10-year-old Pitbull/Boxer, named Spot, has been experiencing twitching on her head and body, which lasts for about 1-2 seconds and occurs only when she is laying still. She is fully conscious during these episodes. The twitching was checked by a vet in April, who suggested it might be due to arthritis pain. Spot is currently taking Galliprant and Cytopoint for allergies. The twitching seems to be happening more frequently now. What could be causing this and what should I do?

Our dog, Tulip, a 4-year-old 50 lb lab/pit mix, may have strained a muscle in her upper foreleg at a dog beach. We noticed a limp 2 days ago and today there is noticeable swelling. Should we use a cold compress, hot compress, or alternate between the two?

My dog, Amos, a 4-year-old small breed, has been vomiting and eating grass. The vomit contains both liquid and food. He recently switched back to his old dog food, Blue Buffalo for small breeds, after trying a new one. What should I do, and should I skip breakfast or give him bone broth?

I just rescued a 6-month-old Doberman Pit mix named Gus who has tarry unformed stool with bloody mucous. He is not neutered, has not been vaccinated, and has not been dewormed. Additionally, he has lesions on his skin that look like ringworm. What should I do for his current health issues and how can I prevent the spread of ringworm?

My dog had two cases of diarrhea, one with a small amount of blood, and seems more thirsty. He ate grass and some banana recently. He's 1 year and 1 month old and won't let me touch his stomach. Should I call an emergency vet?
