My 7-year-old Boxer named Boots had her 5th treatment of CCNU for mast cell cancer. She broke out in hives after a new anti-itch wash and is experiencing discomfort, including hives, ear infections, and itching. She is currently on steroids and antibiotics. Is her behavior indicative of pain, and what can be done to alleviate her discomfort?

My husband picked up a 7-week-old puppy named Bella this morning. She was fine all day but started vomiting about an hour ago. She vomited undigested food several times, followed by mucus and slightly blood-tinged mucus. Her stool is normal, and she seems okay now. Could this be due to overfeeding, and what should I do to monitor her condition?

Our ten-year-old golden retriever has been experiencing skin problems, swelling near her nose, and swelling on her paws, particularly her front paws. She was on an antibiotic and is currently taking 40 mg of prednisone twice daily. She seemed to be improving, but suddenly became largely unable to use her back legs. What could be causing this sudden hind end weakness, and what should we do?

My dog has an infection around his anus and testicular area. The vet prescribed Resorcin ointment and Chlorhexidine wash, but the infection looks worse today. Can I give my dog human Amox-Clav, which is 875mg, as an oral antibiotic? My dog is a 6-pound Yorkie.
