My 8-month-old Chinese Crested dog, Dutch, has been constantly licking his testicles for about two weeks. I noticed chafing, applied a salve, but the condition has worsened. His testicles are now completely red with black areas, and his penis has a red ring around the tip and looks discolored. There is no unusual smell, and he doesn't seem more tired than usual. What should I do?

Dutch likely has a skin infection that he is transferring between his scrotum and the tip of his pen...

My dog, Dobby, has a stomach infection causing him to pass blood and lose his appetite. He's been prescribed antibiotics to be taken with food, but he currently has no appetite. Can I still give him the antibiotics without food?

I want to have my dog's hips tested before breeding her, and I also want to encourage the sire's owner to have his hips tested. Where is the nearest location for testing, and is sedation necessary for the OFA hip radiographs?

I have a bullmastiff diagnosed with bone cancer in August 2019. The cancer has progressed rapidly, causing swelling, cysts, and ulceration in her leg. She is on pain meds, an anti-inflammatory, and an antibiotic. The wound is cleaned with an antiseptic, but she keeps ripping off the bandage, causing further damage. What additional steps can I take to manage her condition and improve her quality of life?

My dog, Axl, a 6-month-old weighing just under 10 lbs, chewed up and possibly swallowed a couple of tiny, jagged pieces from a small plastic car. Should I induce vomiting, and is there anything else I should do to help the pieces pass safely?
