My 18-year-old dog, Cap'n Jack, is constipated, straining to defecate without success, panting constantly, and unable to sit. He had diarrhea on Friday morning and is now licking himself constantly. What can I do to help him, especially since I can't find an open emergency clinic?

My French bulldog, Nova, has been experiencing very itchy and sore skin on her back end for about 6 months. She has been licking and rubbing the affected area. Can I give her human prednisone, and if so, how much? Additionally, what are the best and least expensive flea control options, and what other treatments should I consider for her skin condition?

A friend's lab has a leg that has become difficult to move, starting with a limp two weeks ago and now resulting in the dog dragging the limb. There are no visible punctures or cuts. What could be the cause of this issue, and is there any over-the-counter medication that could help?

My 3 1/2-year-old Australian Shepherd has had diarrhea for 2 days. Her appetite is great, but she's a bit more down than usual. She is taking 3.5ml daily of K-Bromide for seizures. She may have gotten into the trash or had some canned food added to her regular Wellness Grain Free diet. She's been given a calming supplement with melatonin, hemp seed, chamomile, and sensoril. She's up to date on heartworm/intestinal parasite prevention. What could be causing her diarrhea, and what can I do to help her?

My dog, Duke, vomits daily, sometimes several times in a row, and experiences occasional weakness. He drinks plenty of water but has irregular eating patterns. Could he have eaten anything unusual, and what should I do to help him?

Our dog, Finley, a 1.5-year-old weighing about 20 lbs, ate around 4-5 raisins from a 2x2” section of raisin bread about 20 minutes ago. He has vomited several times, including regular food and packaging, but we found raisins in the vomit. He's now looking tired and has vomited bile. Should we give him water, and is there anything else we should do?
