After my dog was dewormed on August 1st with Dronal, he started bleeding from his rectum. The stool examination was negative for any issues. The vet suggested Prolisic, which did not help. He is now on metronidazole for 5 days and FortiFlora for 10 days, but I see no improvement yet. I am questioning this course of treatment since an exam of the inside of his rectum wasn't done. What should I do?

We have two male dogs, aged five and six years, and recently took in an eight-week-old male puppy from next door. The younger dog is following the puppy around, constantly panting, licking his penis, and has occasionally bitten the puppy. He has also started clicking his teeth, which he never did before. We found a kitten from the same home as the puppy dead in our garden, suspected to be killed by the younger dog. Is this behavior normal, and can our dog be aggressive towards the puppy? We are away from home for ten to twelve hours a day and cannot constantly watch them. Should we return the puppy to our neighbors?

My dog, Alyssa, has been experiencing rapid breathing, panting, and other symptoms related to an overactive immune system. She has been on various medications including prednisone, cyclosporin, and azathioprine. What could be causing these symptoms and what steps should be taken to manage her condition?

My dog has had two seizures that I was present for. The first one was just light shaking, with no noticeable limb or mouth movement, lasting less than a minute. The second one lasted about 2.5 minutes. The first seizure occurred a month ago, and the recent one was on Saturday, 1/4/31. During the seizures, the entire body shook, and he was alert and responsive only after the seizure. What could be causing these seizures, and what should I do?

I have a 2 1/2 year old black lab who started itching a lot in late summer/fall. The vet diagnosed allergies and prescribed prednisone, but the itching persists despite the treatment. My dog is also biting his legs and not eating well. What can be done to alleviate his symptoms?
