My 4-year-old pitbull, Katie, has had a persistent skin disorder since having a litter. She has symptoms including bad odor, scaling, thick patches, hair loss, being underweight, and inactive.

My dog, Bella, a miniature dachshund almost 10 years old, has vomited several times over the past week and a half, with no appetite this morning. She often goes into a bush in our backyard, and I suspect she might be eating something unusual there. What should I do?
