My 11-year-old lab mix, Penny, is having a reaction to something. She is prone to yeast infections and has red blotches on her stomach from licking, and her ear looks like a typical yeast infection. I've been giving her a different treat which may have triggered it. Could I give her Amoxicillin? I have treated her ear with the medication given by her vet. She also has a few fatty cysts and a little arthritis.

My dog, a 5-year-old silver-haired Weimaraner named Leggy, has welts all over her body that come and go, sometimes in abundance. She is also shedding a lot and developing black spots. She is not itching or bothered by the welts, but she has kidney dysfunction due to leptospirosis. What could be causing these symptoms and what should I do?

My border collie, Sadie, who is 5 years old, deaf, and possibly diabetic, suddenly has difficulty seeing. She might have ingested poison fertilizer from a neighbor's garden in June, which caused vomiting and high liver enzymes. Her eyes have also been running lately. What could be causing her vision problems, and what should I do?

My dog, Aubie, a 4-year-old French Bulldog, has a recurring back problem. He pulled his back again this week, and I ran out of the prescribed tramadol. I still have acepromazine for sedation and carprofen (Vetprofen). Can I substitute carprofen for tramadol for tonight until I can get to my vet tomorrow?

Belle is a 13-year-old spaniel with a painful left hip that doesn't function properly. She is currently taking glucosamine and experiencing weight loss, vomiting undigested food, and depression. What can be done to alleviate her pain, and can a brace help? Additionally, what should be done about her vomiting and loss of appetite?
