I have a 13-14 year old pitbull/bulmastive mix named Otis who weighs 120 pounds and is suffering from joint and arthritis pain. He had trouble moving around about 9 days ago and the CBD gummies helped for a day or so. He is super anxious about vet visits and last saw a vet in March for a skin infection. He drinks water, eats well, but has a hard time moving around. What can be done to help manage his pain and improve his mobility?

My puppy was stepped on last night and is limping on her front left paw. She slept a lot last night and is more playful today but still limping slightly. She will drink water and eat treats but won't eat her food. Should I let her walk around or keep her confined in a crate to rest her leg?

I have a female American Bully named Harley, who is 16 months old and intact. She has lost her appetite, her nipples are swollen, and she is shedding excessive amounts of hair. She also has severe dermatitis on her abdomen and is scratching and licking her belly. Should I take her to a vet, or is there something over the counter I can purchase to make her feel better?

My 4-month-old golden retriever, Charlie, ate a whole dead baby mouse on the sidewalk about 30 minutes ago. What should I do?

I have a black 14-pound toy poodle who was diagnosed with diabetes in November 2022 and has collapsing trachea. He is prone to overheating in the summer and has severe allergies that cause excessive licking and itching. He is on Novalin N insulin and has been through food allergy testing. What can I do to help him stay cool, and is it safe to give him human Zyrtec or Benadryl for his allergies, considering his diabetes? Additionally, he has started making a honking sound and itching his ears and paws more frequently. Could this be related to his allergies or trachea, and is there a specific antihistamine that works better for dogs?
