I have an 11-year-old female boxer mix with chronic skin problems (likely allergies). I've tried various treatments and diet changes, but the issues persist. I'm considering using a product called BHI 'Hair and Skin' as recommended by a holistic veterinarian. What are your thoughts on this product and how should I proceed with managing her skin condition?

My 14-year-old German Shepherd has a recurring sebaceous cyst that has grown to the size of a grapefruit and is now draining. We are concerned about infection and the potential for a large hole to form if we drain it. Given her age, reduced mobility, and extreme stress at the vet, what is the best way to handle this cyst to prevent infection without needing to visit the vet?

My one-year-old Shih Tzu had blood work done before being spayed, and her ALT levels were nearly 800, with elevated ALP, BUN, and GLU levels. A bile test showed post-eating bile levels at 45, which is above normal. The vet suspects a liver shunt, but online sources suggest shunts usually cause bile levels over 100. What else could be causing these elevated levels, and what should be the next steps?
