My dog, Melba, a 9-year-old female, has open sores that she licks. I first noticed them about a couple of weeks ago. We tried applying medicine to heal them, but it was not successful. Where are these sores located on her body, and what should I do about them?

My dog has an ear infection since Monday. She keeps shaking her head. I can't get a vet appointment. Is there something I can get over the counter to help her?

My dog, Sasha, a Rhodesian Ridgeback around 1.5 to 2 years old, has growths on her back paw that look like large puss pockets. I noticed them when I first got her 6 months ago, but they have since grown significantly and there are more than one. I took her to a vet who suggested an X-ray and blood work, but I couldn't afford it. What could these growths be, and what can I do about them?

We have a Husky named Luna who has been suffering for 3 years with no fur on her belly and under her arm, constant chewing and scratching, and has bitten both me and my husband due to her misery. We've tried various treatments recommended by the vet, including fish oil, diet changes, and Claritin, but there's been no improvement. We're moving back to Washington in May and are considering putting her down if we can't find someone to care for her. What further steps can we take to help Luna, and are there any treatments that might improve her condition?

My dog, Luna, a 13-year-old Chihuahua/Terrier mix, has been vomiting and having diarrhea all morning. The vomit started as foamy and later became liquidy with food and blood. She ate chicken with her dog food, which was not expired, but we don't know if she ate anything unusual. She hasn't been able to keep food down but has managed to keep down some Pedialyte. What should I do?
