My 3-year-old Golden Retriever, Luna, has a hot spot on her face. I shaved the fur around the area, and it doesn't look as irritated today. She has been scratching at it but not licking or rubbing it. What should I do to treat it?

My 1-year-old toy Chihuahua fell off a high bed onto a hardwood floor and hit her head slightly. Now she is keeping one eye closed. What does that mean?

My dog, Shadow, a 10-year-old puggle, has pink blood in her stool this morning. She seems to be about the same in thirst and is always hungry. We suspect she may have Cushing's disease due to abnormal blood work, but it's not confirmed. She has also been having accidents and diarrhea for 24 hours. What could be causing the blood in her stool and what should we do?

My 10-pound, 11-year-old dog, LouLou, swallowed one of my Eliquis pills (5mg) about an hour ago. Has the dog thrown up since eating the pill? Is there anything else the vet should know before I connect with them?

I have a 2-week-old lamb with bloat. It's midnight and I can't get to the vet. The lamb has been bloated for about 2 hours, is breathing hard, and can't lie down. It hasn't been seen by a vet yet and hasn't had colostrum. We've given it 10ml of water with baking soda and have a small plastic tube but haven't used it yet. I also have some old augmentin antibiotics for humans. What can I do to help the lamb?

My 14-year-old Chihuahua inhaled a spear grass two years ago, which was removed through nasal scope. Since then, he has had persistent nasal issues, including inflammation and difficulty breathing, especially at night. Recent scopes have found no foreign bodies but have identified inflamed tissue, and there are concerns about a possible tumor, fungus, or remaining spear grass fragment. The vet has suggested an MRI, but I'm looking for alternative treatments or medications, especially anti-fungal ones, to help manage his condition. Can you provide any suggestions or guidance?
