I have an 11-year-old boxer dog who has been scratching a lot and biting occasionally for about 3 weeks. I have tried using anti-parasitic/sarcoptic shampoo and Frontline Plus, but neither has provided relief. I am noticing numerous bite-like bumps on his back and sides, but he has not lost any hair and I do not see any signs of mange. What could be causing this, and what should I do to help him?

I have a 1 1/2 year old golden retriever. She loves to dig in my flowerbeds. How do I stop this behavior?

My 13-year-old Pomeranian starts coughing and gagging as if he is going to throw up but doesn't. What could be causing this and what should I do?

My 3-year-old mini pinscher had a fine morning but started having seizures and vomiting his food, which he ate just fine 4 hours earlier. His front legs go stiff, his body shakes, and he is lethargic with somewhat fuzzy eyes. I tried giving him Pedialyte, but he threw it up as a yellowy brown. I cannot afford a vet. What should I do?

My wiener dog has injured her back and is dragging her back legs. I will bring her to the vet in the morning if it persists, but want to know if I can give her anything for pain. I am an RN and would like to give her some prednisone but don't know dosing for a dog. She weighs around 18lbs.
