My dog, Latcher, is almost 13 years old, 90 lbs, and on gabapentin 300mg daily and carprofen 75mg daily for hip and back leg nerve degeneration/arthritis. His appetite has been decreasing, and today he only ate 3 Vienna sausages after refusing his kibble with chicken broth and skins. Standing and moving is getting more difficult, and he seems a little bloated. What could be causing his decreased appetite and what should I do?

Our 3-year-old male English Setter, Magnum, ate a partial bag of semi-sweet chocolate chips. He vomited up the chocolate and parts of the bag. He is now resting and seems okay. We are at a cabin 4 hours away from home. Is there anything else we should be doing?

My dog, Molly, is scratching and licking herself, leading to raw patches. I've tried store-bought sprays, a 50/50 vinegar and water solution, and Benadryl. Can I use Dr. Watkins Petrocare first aid salve?

My 10-year-old Shih Tzu named Buddy scratches and whines all night. He had fleas, which we treated, but the scratching and whining continue. He eats normally and has no issues with peeing or pooing. There are no visible signs of pain or abnormalities. What could be causing this and what can I do to help him?

My dog, Rico, vomited earlier and just pooped out something blue. He is 8 weeks old and may have eaten something unusual. What should I do?
