My dachshund mix, Scooter, who is about 9 years old, suddenly started trembling intermittently in the middle of the night. He seemed a bit off, and the trembling was more consistent when he was laying down. His appetite was normal yesterday, and there were no changes in his stool. He doesn't usually eat unusual things, but occasionally licks the floor. He has arthritis in his knees and I'm concerned about his back due to his dachshund heritage. What could be causing this trembling, and what should I do?

My dog Sue, a Beagle mix weighing 20lbs, started having painful poops with diarrhea and occasional blood 24 hours ago. She ate cat poop at my parents' farm recently. What should I do to help her, and when should I be concerned enough to take her to a vet?

My dog sounds like he has a plugged nose. What can I do to help him, and how much Benadryl should I give him if he's very small, 11 weeks old, and I don't know his weight?

Our 12-year-old mixed breed dog, Gracie, has been unsettled and frequently licking her female parts. We thought it might be allergies and have given her Benadryl, which helps her rest but the problem persists. This morning, my wife noticed her parts looked protruding/inflamed. Gracie is an old dog with signs of dementia and possibly Cushings Disease. She is on Phenobarbital for seizures, Gabapentin, Moxicam, and regular CBD. If her eyes are very red and she scratches excessively, we give her Benadryl. What could be causing this irritation, and what should we do?

My dog, Taz, a 2-year-old Chihuahua pit mix weighing 38-45lbs, ate a small portion of a chocolate brownie about 2 minutes ago. She has not vomited and has no underlying medical conditions. What should I do?
