My 2-year-old puggle is scratching his neck, side, and licking his paws, but has not lost any hair. His food was recently changed from Science Diet to Purina One. He doesn't have fleas, bugs, or an ear infection. Just Answer suggested food or seasonal allergies and recommended Benedryl. Kobe's vet said he doesn't have skin inflammation and likely has seasonal allergies, but doesn't like giving meds due to side effects. The vet expressed the anal glands since Kobe was scooting on the carpet. The vet asked if he licked the top or bottom of his paws, which I didn't know, but I see he licks the top. Can you explain why the vet asked that and suggest ways to alleviate his scratching?

My dog definitely has dog flu. Is there an antibiotic that will get rid of the flu before it turns into the worst case scenario?

My female Dachshund is suffering from DCM and is under treatment with Lasix, Digoxin, Benzaperil, CoQ10, L-carnitine, and Taurine. By mistake, we gave her Coq10 Forte (100mg of Coenzyme) once a day for three days, which caused slight tremors. We have normal blood test results, including electrolytes, and a 2D echo showing slight dilation on the right side of the heart. The tremors are intermittent. What could be causing the tremors, and what further steps should be taken for diagnosis?

I just noticed that my beagle/viszla mix has raised bumps inside her mouth only on the left. The sores look like large skin tags. Do you have any advice as to what it may be?

My dog, Storm, is fourteen years old and has been in the fertile stage of her season for about three to four months. She is happy and has no other problems. I have taken her to the vet three times about this, the first time a year ago because she came into season two months after a previous season. What could be causing this frequent and prolonged heat cycle, and what should I do?

My 5-month-old puppy's bottom front incisor tooth became loose after playing with a rope. Is this a concern, or will the tooth fall out naturally?
