My 6lb Chihuahua, Cupcake, has been itching for 2 weeks, experiencing hair loss, and has been on prednisone injections and antibiotics. The lab ruled out mange. We tried a salmon-only diet and krill oil capsules with no improvement. Her skin is scaly and flaking, and her nails are lifeless and gray. She is also very hungry and thirsty during the day but sleeps well at night. What could be causing her symptoms, and what additional treatments or diagnostics should we consider?

My dog has been vomiting puddles of brownish red blood with mucus, eating grass, and vomiting up foamy clear liquid. Her nose is super dry, and her gums are a light pink but darker around her teeth. She can keep water down but shows no discomfort when her belly is touched. What could be causing this and what should I do?

My 13-year-old beagle has been diagnosed with a disc problem and is on Prednisone, which affects her behavior. She is in a restricted space for 3 weeks. How long does it typically take for dogs with disc problems to rest and heal, and when should she have a follow-up with the vet? Additionally, how can we manage her behavior during mealtimes, and are there any additional tips for her healing process? Can arthritis of the spine be mistaken for disc problems, and is an x-ray beneficial for older dogs with back problems?

My 1 1/2 year old German Shepherd keeps licking her butt. I have taken her to the vet 4 times. It is not her anal glands, she has been on steroids and antibiotics. She cries when she licks it. I am frustrated because no one can help. She is currently on Apoquel, but it is not helping.
