My 8-year-old min pin doxie has been losing balance, yelping when picked up or laid down, sticking his head upward for a few minutes, wobbling while sitting or standing, and struggling to eat dry food, preferring soft food. He seems to be in discomfort, keeping his head hovering above the floor when laying down. What could be causing these symptoms and what tests should be performed to diagnose the issue?

My dog, Bean, seems confused, lethargic, and has difficulty with his back legs. He was fine 2 1/2 hours ago. His appetite and stool are normal today. Could he have eaten something unusual, considering there's a baby in the house?

My dog, Oda, chewed on a vape fluid bottle about 30 minutes ago. He weighs 65 lbs and hasn't vomited since. He seems fine now. What should I do and is there any risk of nicotine poisoning?

My 13-year-old Scotty terrier, Maggie, has been experiencing severe itching and raw skin under her chin, disrupting her sleep. We have tried using coconut oil and liquid Benadryl, but the itching persists. Her skin has been dry for the last year, and we suspect allergies. What other treatments can we try to alleviate her discomfort?

My sister's boxer dog, around 50 pounds and a year old, may have ingested half of a new hand warmer. The dog has vomited black material and is now sleeping without a fever. What should I do to monitor and manage the situation?

My new dog, a 2-year-old who is 9 weeks postpartum from a c-section, is not going pee or poop in or outside. We’ve been exercising her for walks 4 times a day and she’s only peed once which was yesterday morning. She is accepting treats and drinking some water. We’ve only had her for 48 hours in our home so I know there’s a lot of change being introduced but I’m worried.
