My dog Clyde, who is 10 years old, has a toenail that looks purple and is at a weird angle. It's still attached but has stopped bleeding. I have wrapped it and placed a sock over it. Should I be concerned, and what should I do next?

My Shih Tzu, Little Bear, has been itching badly for about 2 weeks to a month, and it's getting worse. This happens around this time every year. He last saw a vet 4 months ago and is not on any medications. What could be causing this and what can I do to help him?

I have a 7-month-old puppy named Bella who was born as the runt of the litter. She runs a lot and often loses her balance and falls over. Her head moves from side to side, but she can also stay still and focus. She has all her shots except for Lyme and last saw a vet in April. She is not on any medications. What could be causing this and what should I do?

A medium-sized labradoodle, approximately 8 months old and weighing about 35 lbs, may have swallowed an allergy pill containing 5mg loratadine and 120mg pseudoephedrine sulfate about an hour ago. The dog chewed the pill out of its plastic wrapper and has shown no adverse reactions so far. What should be done to monitor the situation and what potential side effects should be watched for?

My 4-year-old Shih Tzu-Bichon mix, Cooper, ingested about 2 inches of a panda plant succulent. He has vomited three times, is lethargic, but shows no mouth, throat, or gum irritation. His gums are pink, and he's not struggling to breathe or drooling. His heart rate is around 80 beats per minute, and he is still responsive and drinking water. What should I do?
