My 15-year-old Monagel dog was not well after a holiday, with stuck poop, matted hair, and small white worms coming out of her skin and bum. I washed her three times and applied Sudocream. I plan to buy clippers to shave her and worm tablets. Is there anything else I can do to help her?

My chihuahua put herself under a falling futon and is now limping. I rubbed her foot, but she won't put it down and doesn't make a sound. Can dogs pull a muscle, and how long would it last? How would I know if it's broken?

My dog got bitten by another dog at the park. His wound is pretty deep, but I don't want to bring him to the vet unless necessary. I cleaned it with peroxide and applied antibiotic gel, but he licked it off. Should he be seen by a vet or can I wait and monitor the wound?

I bought my dog already pregnant not knowing that she was. She's been getting bigger and I can feel the movement of the puppies. She has not been eating a lot or at all today. Yesterday I took her temp and it was over 101. Today I took her temp and it dropped from 99.9 to 98.8 and now back up to 99.0. She has laid around and been panting off and on. Her vulva is enlarged and I could get a little colostrum out. Is she going into the first stage of labor?

My dog seems to choke when he gets excited. He has no vomiting or diarrhea. This has just started in the last week or so. I have two dogs, both are Boston Terrier crosses with Pug (Bugs). One is a male around 3 years old who chokes, and the other is a female 6 months old and is normal. Any ideas on what may be wrong? Desperate for help.
