My 9 1/2-year-old labradoodle has been losing weight and occasionally regurgitating his food, despite being on a bland diet and receiving frequent feedings. He appears healthy and pain-free, but has lost 10 pounds in the last two weeks. What could be causing this weight loss and regurgitation, and what further diagnostic steps should be taken?

My dog, Max, a 2-year-old Maltese Shih Tzu, is restless at night due to inflamed bumps on his body and constant scratching and licking of his paws. He has no fleas as he is treated with Advocate every 3 months. I have been using medicated shampoo (Dermcare Malaseb) but it doesn't seem to help. What can I do?

I found some leaves from a Wine and Roses Weigela inside the house. I have two dogs and am concerned if they ate some of the leaves. I can't find any information about this plant being toxic or non-toxic for dogs. Is there any way to determine whether or not a Weigela is safe for dogs?

My 8-year-old German shepherd had a bilateral TECA surgery two weeks ago and is recovering well, but shows no reaction to sound. Should I expect some return of hearing by now, or is it possible that an auditory nerve was damaged during the surgery?

My 5-month-old standard poodle, Templar, threw up remnants of a pine cone and has had diarrhea since Sunday. He eats Purina Puppy Chow and stays indoors. His stool this morning contained another piece of the outer part of a pine cone. What should I do to help him recover and is a vet visit necessary?
