My grandmother's new dachshund is showing signs similar to her previous dachshund, which included swollen spots around the mouth, inflamed ears with discharge, crusty eyes, and the development of large lumps.

I have a senior husky with zinc responsive dermatitis. The vet prescribed prednisone and zinc methionone. I have prednisolone from a recently deceased dog. Are prednisone and prednisolone the same for dogs, and can they cause diarrhea or other side effects?

My 11-week-old 6-pound Sheltie puppy drank about 5 or 6 licks of coffee from a black cup before I caught him. He is a little more hyper than usual but seems okay. I gave him water to drink. What else can I do?

My dogs have developed itching, mainly in the tail area, which has progressed up their sides and now around their necks. Both dogs are losing hair in spots and shake their heads as if there are bugs on them. They are flea-free and eat grain-free food. What could be causing this and what can I do to help them?
