I have an 11.5-year-old Yorkie and a 3.5-year-old Pit Bull Husky mix. The younger, larger dog has attacked the smaller dog multiple times, with the most recent incident causing stress but no serious injury. The Pit Bull Husky seems to be possessive and jealous of me, especially when the Yorkie is near. How can I ease the tension and manage this aggressive behavior through disciplinary action and training?

My 9-month-old English Bulldog, Chloe, has a very red private area. She was seen going in circles as if rubbing on the carpet. What could be causing this and what should I do?

My dog, Gus, is listing to one side, having trouble putting down one hind leg and one foreleg, and manages to hobble along. He had a back problem a couple of months ago which was resolved with gabapentin and NSAIDs. He started hobbling on three legs after more gabapentin, and his balance worsened. He stopped the gabapentin, and his balance improved, but he still has trouble standing, and now his hind leg is also a problem. His appetite is fine, and he wears a flea/tick collar. What could be causing his lameness, and what should I do until his vet appointment on December 10?

Hi Dr. Scott, I just got an update on my dog, Zoe, who is having an intestinal blockage problem. The doctor said the barium is going all the way through the intestines into the colon and from the x-rays it seems that the blockage is moving along as well. They are going to do enemas this afternoon to see if they can flush it out. I just wanted to get your opinion on this new course of action. I'm attaching the most recent x-rays they took around noon today.

My 90lb Labradoodle, Finn, who is almost 5 years old and on painkillers for a disc issue and sulfate to help his stomach, ate approximately 5 hot chocolate k-cups and 3 coffee k-cups. He has not vomited since eating them, and it has been at least 7 hours. How should I proceed?
