My 12-year-old 85 lb white shepherd/lab mix, Sammi, has sensitive skin and is allergic to several things. She is currently on Apoquel and recently finished a 28-day course of Cefpodoxime antibiotics. Despite this, her skin has become bright red, swollen, and has brown discharge, particularly between her toes. She also sheds more than usual and has a yeasty odor. What could be causing these symptoms and what should be done next?

My 11-year-old beagle, Sheldon, has epilepsy. He was seizure-free for a year on Keppra but started having seizures again after the dosage was reduced. The vet now wants to add potassium bromide to his treatment. I've heard there are newer medications available. What are your thoughts on the best treatment options for Sheldon, considering his age and potential side effects?

My friends smoked meth in my apartment while house-sitting, and my 10-month-old chiweenie, Buttercup, seems affected. She's hyper-aware, has dilated pupils, and is lethargic but eats and drinks. What should I do?

My dog Sky, a Yorki/Shih-tux mix, is 6 years old and pregnant. Her due date was yesterday, and she has been panting heavily since late evening. Her temperature dropped to 97.9 and is now 98.6. She has not shown any pushing or contractions, just heavy panting, restlessness, and nesting. Should she have given birth by now, and what should I be looking out for?

I found a large scab on my dog's neck and several smaller scabs on his front side. I initially thought he might have injured himself, but the scabs are healing. What could be causing these scabs, and what should I do to treat them?
