We changed our dog Ruby's medication from Trifexis to Heartgard/Nexgard to add tick protection. After one dose two weeks ago, Ruby's scratch reflex has increased to the point where just patting her on the side causes her leg to jump, similar to when her belly is scratched. Is this a reaction to the medication change?

My dog, Cannoli, a 1-year-old Pembroke Corgi, has been peeing in small amounts and seems more tired than usual for the past 3-4 days. Her urine is slightly darker but there's no blood. She also drinks water only when extremely thirsty and eats less than recommended. What could be the issue and what should I do?

My 13-year-old Cairn Terrier, Duncan, suddenly started limping this morning after a normal walk and jog the previous night. He is eating and drinking normally but is less enthusiastic about walks and not kicking the dirt after urinating. He is not on any joint supplements and has never had a limp before. What could be causing the limp and what should I do?

One of my dog's ears has a weird smell, but the other does not. The dog, Bodhi, a 3-year-old Maltese, doesn't seem bothered by it and his diet hasn't changed. What could be causing this smell and what can I do to help?
