My 14-year-old shepherd/lab cross, Emma, has started losing hair in patches on her body. There is no inflammation, but she has been licking her belly. She has a tumor on her left hip scheduled for removal on January 20th. Emma does not have fleas or ticks and is an indoor/outdoor dog. What could be causing the hair loss, and what should I do?

I have two female French Bulldog puppies, Pearl and Ruby, who have been exhibiting food aggression for a couple of months. They become aggressive as soon as they hear their food bowls or the food door opens. We've tried removing their food bowls and taking them outside after eating, but they still want to fight. What can be done to address this food aggression?

My dog, Bane, who is 4 years old and hasn't seen a vet in a while, has been experiencing bloating for a couple of hours. Where can I take him for help, and is there anything else I should know or do in the meantime?

My dog Luna, who is about 1 year old and recently had her first litter with a calcium deficiency, has become aggressive and barks at other people and pets all the time when taken outside. I've tried using a bark collar with beep sounds and vibrations, putting her in her cage for timeouts, and trying to calm her down. What can I do to address her aggression?

We have a new puppy named Stanley in a house with two older dogs. One of the older dogs is fine with the puppy, but the older and Alpha female is exhibiting anxiety and bullying behavior towards Stanley. She has barely eaten and relaxed in two weeks and seems obsessed with him. We have tried introductions on neutral ground and walks, but her behavior has not improved. What can we do to help her integrate better with the new puppy?
