My dog appears to always be covered in what I believe is flea dirt, but I give him Nitenpyram 3 days a week and he hasn't been outside in over a month. I have vacuumed extensively and used rubbing alcohol on the vacuum bag, but I have never definitively seen a flea. I have a 45x lighted magnifying glass and a microscope that magnifies up to 2,000 times, but I have not seen a flea. I have attached a picture of what I think is flea dirt and would like to know if it is indeed flea dirt or if it could be a skin condition. Additionally, my dog is suffering from flaky brown skin. Could this produce what appears to be flea dirt?

We are in South Texas and have big red wasps that hang out in the grass. Our medium-sized terrier dog bites at these wasps and gets stung. He is now very lethargic, won't eat or drink, and is losing weight rapidly. We thought this would pass but it hasn't. Any thoughts would be appreciated.

My dog, Canelo, a 1-year-old, has been vomiting for 3 days, with the vomit being a mix of liquid and his food, and last night he vomited yellow. He also hasn't been able to poop. What could be causing this and what should I do?

My dog ate some rat poison (racumin) and vomited up the poison packet, but some of the paste was still in it. How much danger is my dog in, and what should I do given that we live 100km from the nearest vet?

My white German Shepherd is about 19 months old. He has been tested at the vet and has been on a monthly heartworm pill, with clean test results. He runs a lot around the house and me, but is fine indoors, laying down and chilling. He is very thin but eats well. I thought he was thin due to running so much. He has not been to the vet in a year but was hyper and running then. We recently got a female for him, she eats the same and runs the same yard but is a lot thicker. He acts great, but I worry that something might be wrong and we're not doing anything about it.
