My 6-week-old puppy is frequently vomiting. The puppy recently had a change in food from the original owner, received deworming treatment, and is due for distemper/parvo vaccinations. The puppy has been eating well but started vomiting today, with chunks of dry dog food in the vomit. The vet diagnosed an overbite and ruled out worms. The puppy has normal poop, high energy, and no diarrhea. What could be causing the vomiting and what steps should be taken to address it?

Our dog Chloe has developed red marks and scabs all over her body over the last two weeks. She has been losing fur for the last three months and tested positive for allergies to indoor allergens like house dust mites, storage mites, and mould spores. We have removed carpets and fabric sofas, and replaced them with leather. Chloe has been prescribed Rilexine 600mg tablets for 7 days and Advocate Large Dog liquid drops, but the drops were not fully effective as Chloe shook excessively. What is the cause of Chloe's skin condition, and what additional treatments should she receive?
