My daughter's dog, Sophie, a 2-year-old German Shepherd mix, is whining intermittently, especially when she sits or lays down, but not when she walks or jumps. She was at the vet last week and all was fine. Should I take her to the vet today or observe her for a day?

My dog, Jack, a 9-year-old German Shepherd, has a wound on his hip area that started as a bug bite, got infected, and is now larger than a quarter in size. It occasionally bleeds and oozes yellow pus. His skin has been itchy lately, and he has allergies. I recently switched him from Benadryl to Zyrtec, but it doesn't seem to help much. What should I do?

My Boston Terrier, Mookie, has a red rash with white puss (pimple-like) under her armpits and on her stomach. She is uncomfortable and seems in pain, not wanting to walk or move. The rash appeared this morning, and she doesn't seem to be itching. What could be causing this and what can I do to help her?

My dog, Junior, a 4-year-old Weimaraner, has been straining a little and has had some blood in his poop since changing his dog food over a week ago. He is eating, drinking, and playing normally, but I noticed some hair in his last poop. Should I monitor him until his appointment on Monday for his normal shots, or is there anything else I should do?

My daughter's 12 1/2 year old golden retriever, Melvin, has been peeing a lot and having difficulty jumping on the bed. The vet suggested several expensive medications and tests. What can be inferred from the attached blood work, and what are the recommended next steps if we don't have the funds for all the tests?
