My dog got spayed two weeks ago. In the area that was shaved on her leg for the IV, she is now developing a white spot that looks like her skin. It seems to be growing. What could this be and what should I do?

My 13-year-old lab suffers from laryngeal paralysis and lung cancer. He is very excitable and difficult to calm. Is there any medication that might calm his anxiety without putting him under for surgery? Specifically, could I use Citalpram or Lexapro as alternatives to Prozac?

My 2.5-year-old Shepherd had a temperature of 102.9°F and was given medication, including two shots. He has been reluctant to eat and seems lethargic but still wants to play. What could be causing this and what can I do to help him?

My 10-year-old lab, Sophie, has a large mast cell tumor on her back right paw that has been removed twice and has now returned. She had two middle toes removed and was on chemo for 6 months, but new masses have appeared. She is currently on Prednisone, Benadryl, Pepcid, Tramadol, and an antibiotic due to infection. I clean the area with hydrogen peroxide and apply neosporin, but she is irritated by the e-collar. Is there a boot that allows air to the foot without allowing her to lick it? Should I continue cleaning and applying the cream?

I have a 104 lb. Rhodesian Ridgeback. She went out to do her business and came back with her face, including her nose/sinus area, lip, and throat on one side, swollen. I don't see any puncture marks (snake bite) and suspect she may have eaten a wasp or ground bee or other stinging insect. All the stores are closed and I only have hydroxyzine. Can I give that to her, and if so, how much?
