My dog, Dixie, a 4-year-old with known allergies and yeast issues, has been digging and eating her skin, particularly around her paws and ears, for a few weeks. She is also scratching her belly, circling to itch her butt, and her nose has been dry and warm. She seems lethargic and mostly wants to sleep. What could be causing these symptoms and what should I do to help her?

My dog, Nala, a 3-year-old German Shepherd, has been experiencing pain all over her body, crying when she bends down or tries to jump, and has lost weight recently. She has been taking fish oil for about two weeks, but I stopped it today. She is not drinking more or less water than usual, but her appetite has decreased. She also looks sad and her left ear hurts. What could be causing her pain and what should I do?

Can humans get parvovirus from dogs, and can a vaccinated dog still get parvovirus? If a dog with parvovirus returns home, how can we ensure the other dog doesn’t get it again, and how should the house be disinfected, especially carpets?

My puppy, Leia, received her first round of shots today and was acting normal. However, after being left alone for 4.5 hours, she was not her usual self, laying on her side weakly and yelping when picked up. Her appetite and stool are normal, and she hasn't eaten anything unusual. What could be causing her discomfort and what should I do?

I have a 12-week-old Cocker Spaniel mix puppy named Freckles who has a temperature of 111 (later corrected to 102.4) and diarrhea. She recently ate cat food and possibly some cat litter. She's eating and drinking, and her skin is not sticking together, indicating she's not dehydrated. What should I do?
