I have a 7-year-old dog named Bambi who has been experiencing skin itching, inflammation, and other symptoms such as excessive sleeping, red and hot skin, hair loss, and black spots on his skin. He has been treated with antibiotics, flea drops, anti-itch shampoo, and a dip solution. My concerns include his high body temperature, the black spots, and a black, dirt-like substance under his legs and tummy that won't wash off. What could be causing these issues and how can I treat them?

My dog had a stroke years ago and now drags himself around, causing an open sore on his right quarter. What can I do to prevent it from opening up and bleeding, especially since he has lost control of his bowels and sometimes urinates wherever he is?

I have a 104 lb. Rhodesian Ridgeback. She went out to do her business and came back with her face, including her nose/sinus area, lip, and throat on one side, swollen. I don't see any puncture marks (snake bite) and suspect she may have eaten a wasp or ground bee or other stinging insect. All the stores are closed and I only have hydroxyzine. Can I give that to her, and if so, how much?

We have a 6-year-old Springer Spaniel named Cookie who has had diarrhea for over 36 hours. The color is light chocolate brown with a few small specks of blood, and there has been no vomiting. She was last fed at 5pm EST the previous night, and her diet was recently changed to include Royal Canine Calorie Control. She is up to date on her shots, is drinking plenty of water, and her gums are pink. I have administered 1mg of Loperamide HCL. What suggestions do you have for a cure, should I give her another dose of Loperamide HCL, and how much? Also, does canned pumpkin help?

My dog overdosed on l-theanine. She ate over 16 chews, each containing 10.56 mg of l-theanine, and is displaying unusual behavior such as a tick-like motion trying to catch a fly in the air. What should I do?
