My deaf white dog, Mambo, is 5 years old and gets very itchy, licking herself all day. She has been on Apoquel for a week, which helps but is expensive. She also gets yeast infections in her toes and ears, and has skin-related symptoms like rashes. She sleeps a lot and has almost like bed sores, but when she picks, she doesn't stop. Baths with a specific soap haven't helped much, just the Apoquel. What could be causing her skin issues and what can be done to help her?

Our dog fell into very cold water in the swimming pool. How long was she in the water, how is she doing now, is she dry, and what color are her gums?

I have a white American Bulldog. Her fur and skin have an orange tint, and she smells bad even though she gets a bath once a week. What is this?

My dog, Louie, a two-year-old Bullmastiff, has a white bubble on the white part of his lower right eye, under the lower right lid more toward the right. What could this be and what should I do?

We have a 13-year-old lab who began having trouble walking, going up and down stairs, etc. It recently got to the point where his hind leg was dragging. The vet put him on steroids and he seemed to be getting better (for a few days) but now even continuing with the steroids, he can't stand on either of his hind legs. The vet said there was nothing more to do but give him steroids and at some point we would have to make a decision about putting him down. I just want to be sure there are no other options.

I took my dog to a vet, but they were busy and asked me to come back the next day. When I did, they said they wouldn't return until March 1st. My dog, Lola, has more dry patches on her face and is losing hair. What should I do if I can't take her to a vet for a while?
