My dog Diesel, a 7-year-old Newfoundland weighing 87lbs, has worsening allergies, particularly since moving to a 10-acre property. He is losing hair on his legs, face, and elbows, and his skin is bumpy, itchy, and dry, resembling dandruff. He mainly licks and chews his feet and legs, and his face is also affected. He has been given Benadryl (3 tablets of 25mg twice a day) but it doesn't seem to help. What treatment options are available for his severe allergies, and how should I manage his condition at home?

My dog, Tucker, a 6-year-old Border Collie with a heart murmur, has had diarrhea with blood for the last two days. He has been eating and drinking normally and going for walks. He has had diarrhea in the past, and my vet advised removing chicken from his diet, which I did. What could be causing this and what should I do?

Is a dewormer vaccine used to get rid of already existing roundworms or to prevent them? My 3-month-old kitten has roundworms, and I'm unsure if the deworming service at Vetco (Petco) would be effective since he already has worms.

My almost 2-year-old pit mix, Sokka, has been throwing up liquidy and foamy vomit multiple times since this afternoon. He might have eaten something unusual while in the care of my great-grandmother. What could be causing this and what steps can I take to help him?

My 4-year-old Victorian bulldog has had diarrhea for a couple of days. He gets this a few times a year without any change in his diet. The vet says it's due to his sensitive stomach. What can I do to help his diarrhea, and is there anything over the counter I can give him?

We left our 8-month-old, 90-100 lbs Bernese Mountain dog alone for 3 hours and found he had ingested an entire bottle of cosequin (about 80 tablets). He has not vomited or pooped yet. Is he okay, and what should we watch for or do?
