My dog, Diesel, a 10-year-old male, has a history of seizures and is on phenobarbital. This morning, I noticed blood in his urine and he is urinating frequently in small amounts every 5-10 minutes. His urine always has a strong odor in the morning. He is eating and drinking, but I'm concerned about a possible UTI. What should I do?

My dog, Hershey, has a scab on her back that she keeps licking, causing her pain and crying. She got groomed a week ago, and I suspect a skin tag might have been cut slightly. She's been licking the area since then. She hasn't seen a vet in a while and has only been given children's Benadryl for itching. What can I do to help her at home, and should I take her to the vet?

My American Pitbull Terrier, Raskel, who is around 10 years old, has been experiencing heavy panting, excessive drinking of water, and restlessness, especially at night. This has happened twice, once before Christmas and now again. There is no cough, and he has no history of a heart murmur. What could be causing these symptoms and what can I do to help him?

Young female dogs got into a fight. One dog, named Moon, has a swollen wrist joint and a laceration on another leg. Is the swollen joint possibly septic and in need of immediate evaluation, or can it wait until the morning appointment with the vet?
