My dog has started licking her upper leg. There was a small section of hair gone, but now (after 3 days) it is much larger and pink. She doesn't mind me touching or looking at it. Advice? She has an appointment in 2 weeks, is that too far out to worry?

My Siberian Husky has been diagnosed with diabetes. He lost 12 kgs over 6 months, and his blood test revealed high sugar levels. His organs are functioning well, but we want to avoid daily insulin injections. Is there a natural way to control his diabetes, and can we reduce his sugar level from 20 to an acceptable level with proper care and diet changes?

Our westie ate a mushroom in the yard. We gave him some peroxide to make him throw up. Anything else we need to do now? The visit to the pet emergency room is over $300. Should we wait until the vet opens tomorrow to have him checked out unless he shows signs of distress?

I have a 12-year-old Samoyed with arthritis, and we're considering eye surgery for a badly scratched eye. Do you think the recovery time and process is beneficial for her, considering her age and the typical lifespan of a Samoyed?

My 3-year-old cocker spaniel is not acting like himself today. He has not gotten up to drink or eat, has only gone outside once to use the bathroom, and seems almost lifeless. He does not have diarrhea but might have an upset stomach from eating a hamburger patty and possibly some homemade ice cream from a cookout yesterday. What should I do to assess his condition?
