My dog, Tate, a 10 1/2-year-old Rottweiler/Lab mix with severe hip dysplasia and arthritis, has had diarrhea for almost 48 hours. He recently restarted Rimadyl after a week-long break, and the diarrhea started around the same time. He also ate a scrap off the road during a walk. Could the Rimadyl or the scrap be causing the diarrhea? What should I do to help him?

My dog suddenly started screaming in pain while trying to get up, is now shivering and walking gingerly. He followed me to the kitchen for a treat but is now laying in his bed looking uncomfortable. He's a 4-year-old pitbull mastiff mix, approximately 70 lbs, and this is the first time he's had an episode like this. He's been eating and drinking normally, with no vomiting or diarrhea, and is urinating normally. He also frequently jumps on and off a high bed. What could be causing this sudden pain, and what should I do?

My 8-year-old labrador, Cooper, has been constantly scratching for the past 3 days, especially on his underside and hind quarters. We've tried anti-itch shampoos, hot spot sprays, children's Benadryl, and calming chews, but he's still scratching all night. What else can we do to help him?
