We have a Brussels Griffon Chihuahua cross named Griffin, aged 12, with skin issues including lumps, dry patches, and small blackhead-like spots down his back. He has been treated with antibiotics and medicated shampoo with limited effect. Blood tests show no thyroid issues, and he doesn't scratch but enjoys being rubbed or brushed. What could be causing these skin issues, and what further steps should we take?

I put a deposit down on a 3-week-old yellow lab puppy that has kennel cough. Should I be concerned that she has kennel cough this young and will it cause respiratory problems later in life? The breeder claims that the puppies had their bordetella shots, which is why they contracted it.

My Maltese was accidentally stepped on two nights ago and now he won't stop shaking, panting, and occasionally yelping. He's not limping but walks in an odd position, is lethargic, and has barely eaten or drank. He also woke up with a green discharge from his eye and it was bloodshot. What could be causing these symptoms and how can I help him until I take him to the vet tomorrow?
