My 12-year-old dog, Ricky, has red skin on his belly and under his hind leg, with black scales and bumps on his leg, head, and ears. His scales fall off, and he licks and scratches a lot. He was attacked by Huskies three years ago and has a black scar from the incident. He recently moved from Nebraska to Michigan and is showing signs of stress due to a Husky in the apartment across the hall. He's been treated with Zymox spray, Benadryl, antibiotics, and steroids, but the itching hasn't stopped. What could be causing his symptoms and what can I do to help him?

I started my 4-year-old beagle on fish oil three days ago because he has been scratching a lot. I have been giving him one gel cap a day. Last night, he threw up and had very loose bowels. Is this a result of too much fish oil?

My dog, Lovie, ate a piece of beef jerky and some almonds. She is 10 years old and weighs 74lbs. She seems fine so far, but I'm concerned about her digestion. Should I be worried, and is there anything else I should know?

I have a 10-year-old English bulldog named Sugar who has green mucus coming from both nostrils and sounds congested. She also has dry eye syndrome but is otherwise healthy and weighs about 75-80 lbs. Can I give her amoxicillin, and if so, what dosage should I use?

My Cavalier King Charles dog, Mango, suddenly developed a high fever, paralysis, severe pain, spasms, and vomiting blood over the course of four days. Despite veterinary treatment, he passed away. An autopsy showed no clear cause of death. What could have caused these symptoms and how could it have been diagnosed or treated?
