My 13-year-old beagle has been diagnosed with a disc problem and is on Prednisone, which affects her behavior. She is in a restricted space for 3 weeks. How long does it typically take for dogs with disc problems to rest and heal, and when should she have a follow-up with the vet? Additionally, how can we manage her behavior during mealtimes, and are there any additional tips for her healing process? Can arthritis of the spine be mistaken for disc problems, and is an x-ray beneficial for older dogs with back problems?

My 1 1/2 year old German Shepherd keeps licking her butt. I have taken her to the vet 4 times. It is not her anal glands, she has been on steroids and antibiotics. She cries when she licks it. I am frustrated because no one can help. She is currently on Apoquel, but it is not helping.

My dog lost an upper incisor after colliding with another dog while playing. The tooth appears intact with a hole in the middle (likely the pulp canal), and there's a little white spot in her mouth near the hole. She's not showing any signs of discomfort and is chewing normally. What should I do about the white spot, and is it normal after losing a tooth?

My two dogs had blood coming from the corners of their eyes yesterday, and they were panting and sweating. They seem alright now, but both vets in my town were not available. I suspect it might have been due to a crop spray or poison. They are eating and drinking water. What could be the cause of this, and what should I monitor or do next?

My dog ate 21 days' worth of a supplement called Juice Plus, which contains fruit and vegetable juice powder and pulp from various sources. Should I induce vomiting, and if so, how should I do it?
