My 8-month-old dog has a cuterebra that was misdiagnosed two months ago. She is lethargic, not eating much, and my husband has been pouring rubbing alcohol on the site for the last 24 hours. Now, she seems sick and looks like she's going to throw up. What should I do?

My one-year-old English Golden Retriever, Tous, seems restless. She doesn't seem to be in pain, but I'm concerned. What could be causing her restlessness and what should I monitor for?

My dog ate a bag of silicon balls used to keep things dry. This morning he didn't feel like eating, ate a bit then threw up not digested food and those balls. What should I do? They say it's not toxic.

My son's dog and my dogs are experiencing severe itching and chewing, likely due to bug bites, despite being on flea/tick preventives and receiving medication for allergies. We have tried various treatments, including Apoquel, antihistamines, and different shampoos, but the symptoms persist. We recently moved from PA to SC, and the dogs showed improvement when taken back to PA. What additional measures can we take to prevent bug bites and alleviate the itching, especially since Apoquel may not always be effective long-term?

My seven-month-old French bulldog, Gus, tore into a 2-ounce bag of loose black tea leaves. I vacuumed up approximately half of that and another quarter is still in the bag. I assume half an ounce was consumed. My vet is closed and the on-call vet didn't know what to do. What should I do?

My rescued dog has worms (small white/yellowish particles and small, white, moving worms in her stool). I started a deworming treatment with Safe-guard (fenbendazole). What type of worms does she have, and is this something me or my other dog can get? Should I quarantine her, and what further steps should I take?
