I noticed a little red area on my pitbull’s mouth area after walking her outside. Is this concerning?

My dog, Ragnar, an 8-year-old Shitzu-Yorkie mix, suddenly developed a slight limp in his rear right foot about 2 hours ago. He shows no signs of pain or discomfort, and there are no visible issues with his legs or feet. What could be causing the limp, and what should I do?

I brought my 8-week-old golden retriever/lab puppy home a week ago. He's been fine with no diarrhea until today. He had a stressful day yesterday with many people around, and today he's had two rounds of diarrhea, not runny but with a pudding texture. His appetite was poor this morning but fine now, and he's very active. He may have picked up something off the floor or explored outside. Should I be concerned or just monitor the situation?

My 15-year-old Bichon, Nahmi, recently experienced sudden onset of very bloody ulcerative colitis. He was seen just 10 days prior with an unremarkable exam and normal blood tests. After a walk, he had a large volume of bright red, bloody stool with only bits of fecal material. I live in a retirement community where herbicides like Cheetah and Tech Trim are frequently sprayed, and my dog often licks areas that may have been in contact with these chemicals. Is there a possibility that the herbicide caused his hemorrhagic colitis?

Can I use Neosporin on my dog’s wound? My dog, Jessie Boo, a Papillon weighing 19 lbs and aged 8 years, had an allergic reaction to shampoo and chewed his tail, causing cuts. I took him to the vet who prescribed Neo-Predef with Tetracaine powder, but he becomes very agitated after applying it. I thought Neosporin might be a better option.
