We have a 10-year-old black lab who had surgery 3 months ago for an infection in his leg. Since then, he has developed a scabby skin condition and inflammation on his scrotum, followed by a severe dry nose, cracking, scabbing, and peeling. The vet suggested using bag balm, but the condition persists. The dog is otherwise healthy, with the same energy, good appetite, and sense of smell. What could be causing the persistent nose condition, and should we be concerned about long-term effects or if it is painful or fatal?

My dog, Piper, a 5-month-old weighing 25 lbs, seems unusually hyper after I was gone for 12 hours. I think she might have accidentally ingested around 150 mg of lisinopril. What should I do?

My dog, Foxy X, has recently become aggressive towards my friends, family, and even myself, barking and biting. This behavior is new and concerning, especially since we have a 9-month-old baby. What could be causing this change in behavior and how can I address it to prevent any escalation?

My dog, Aleska, is very restless and not walking well. Her back end is shaky, and she walks fine for a short distance but then gets stuck and walks okay again. She won't lie down for very long. Her feet look fine. She's 16 years old and has been creaky in the back end for a while, but not this bad. She was checked by a vet in late June and seemed fine, just old. What should I do?
