My dog has been scratching his neck area where it is red and inflamed. He cannot stop scratching. I am not sure if this is a hot spot or flea bites (he ate Bravecto 3 days ago). What can I do to help him?

My dog, Max, a 7-year-old, coughed up dark red blood with clots this morning. He has not had vaccinations for the past 2 years due to relocation. He is otherwise fit and healthy, with no changes in appetite, and the coughing has stopped. What could be causing this and what should I do?

My female chocolate lab, Coco, ingested a slow-release fertilizer tablet (20-10-5 all-purpose plant food) at approximately 2:00pm today and regurgitated it at approximately 4:30pm. She ate her dinner (5pm) prior to me seeing the mess. She is sleeping comfortably and was normal all evening. Coco is 7 years old, weighs 55 lbs, and has a history of a collapsed lung, but this does not impair her activity. Will she be okay to digest the fertilizer?

My dog ate a small piece of cob. She seems completely normal, so I don’t know if I should take her to the emergency vet or if I should wait?

My dog, Ziggy, a 9-month-old miniature pinscher cross, is lifting his hind leg off the ground when standing but appears to be walking normally. This behavior has been on and off for a few weeks, and Ziggy recently had orthopedic surgery on his front leg due to a break two months ago. What could be causing this issue, and what should I look out for or do?
