My 2-year-old Shiba Inu, Bear, has been grabbing and biting his hind area, particularly under his tail, not all the time. He was on pain meds for a while but now seems okay, though he still occasionally bites. The vet checked his anal glands and found nothing, and they think it might be allergies. What could be causing this and what should I do?

The issue with Bear's hind area could be due to an itch rather than pain, possibly related to fleas ...

My dog, Charlie, a 4-year-old 80-pound dog, swallowed a 4-5 inch long, 1/2 inch wide pork bone 4 days ago and vomited today. He has been eating and pooping normally, but I am concerned about potential complications. Should I be worried, and is it necessary to get an X-ray?

Is it possible for a dog, specifically a 7-year-old chocolate Labrador and beagle mix named Puppy, to contract COVID-19 from a canine coronavirus vaccine? Puppy has been experiencing symptoms such as gagging, coughing, heavy panting, and vomiting water, despite being on prednisone and doxycycline. All other dogs in the household, including Puppy, have been exhibiting similar symptoms. Puppy was vaccinated in November, and the printout indicated she received a COVID shot.

My dog, Deanna, a 9-year-old with bad teeth, vomited yellow this morning at 3 AM after taking a chicken bone. She has medium energy and her appetite is normal in the evening. Her stomach is not bloated. What should I do?

I accidentally gave my 10-year-old female mixed breed dog, Chloe, who weighs approximately 50-55 pounds, 500mg of Keppra this morning. She is otherwise healthy and takes thyroxine regularly. What should I do?

My 5-year-old healthy lab/terrier mix, Bella, was out playing and became very jumpy and wobbly when trying to stand up. She won't eat or drink, and she hid under my motorhome. She may have gotten into an old garbage can with food from a months-old taco bell bag. What could be causing her symptoms and what should I do?
