My dog, a French bulldog with brachycephalic syndrome, recently had a high fever of 107 and was hospitalized for aspiration pneumonia. He was given sedatives and trazadone, and now seems disoriented. I have several questions: 1. Will the effects of the high fever and medication last long? 2. Should he undergo surgery for his upper airway issues, and if so, will he be monitored for 24 hours post-surgery? 3. Can his umbilical hernia and neutering be done during the same anesthesia session as the airway surgery, or is it too much for him? 4. His esophagus and stomach flap doesn't work properly, causing him to throw up if he eats or drinks too much or gets too excited. Is surgery necessary for this, or is there a medication that can help?

I just got a little Yorkie named Bella who is 13 weeks old. She has redness underneath her belly and by her arm. The previous owner told me it was ringworm and it should be going away, but it doesn't look like it's improving. The area is a little oily. What could be causing this redness, and what should I do to treat it?
