My dog, Dandy, had a litter of 5 pups 2 days ago. Everything seemed fine until this morning when she began picking them up with her mouth for no apparent reason. She is taking a small calcium supplement prescribed by her vet. What could be causing this behavior and should I be concerned?

My 3.5-year-old dachshund, Annie, has had a rash for a month that has progressively worsened, causing hair loss under her arms and buttocks due to scratching. Today, her eyes are red around the outside and her face seems to be swelling, particularly on the right side. She is constantly itching, and I haven't been able to afford her heartworm and flea prevention medications for the past six months. What could be causing this, and where can I take her for affordable treatment in the Orlando area?
