My dog Curly, a Maltese, has started licking her genitals repeatedly, every 30 minutes to 1 hour, which has formed a brown spot on her hair. There is no blood. She never has done this before. She is a house dog and goes outside to relax or relieve herself. But I notice she was seating in the dirt a lot. Could this be a UTI? And if so, how do I treat it?

The repeated licking and the formation of a brown spot on Curly's hair suggest perivulvar dermatitis...

My Chihuahua mix, Olive, has a pea-sized, closed bump on her foot. It's sensitive but doesn't seem to cause distress. She's eating, drinking, and behaving normally otherwise. What can I use to help it heal without causing harm if she licks it?

My 10-year-old German Shepherd, Molly, is furiously eating weeds, throwing them up, drinking a lot of water, and is very nervous. The vomit contains weeds, dog treats, and some deli meat. She doesn't seem to be in pain when her stomach is pressed, but her eyes are glassy. What should I do?

I accidentally blocked my dog from going outside by putting my knee out, and now I'm worried I might have hurt her neck or trachea. What should I do to ensure she's okay?

Our dog, Zack, a 2 and 6 months old rescue, has been vomiting foamy material with food particles like potatoes in it and has been trying to have a bowel movement unsuccessfully for 36 hours. The vet prescribed Famotidine, Endosorb, Metronidazole, and Sucralfate, but there has been no improvement. What should we do next?
