My dog has developed a thin red line down one of its legs with no obvious cause. The skin has not been broken but it looks like a healing scratch or similar. She licks it constantly and that appears to be making it worse, causing the fur to disappear more. What can we do?

My Schnauzer puppy, who is 2 months old and was vaccinated for parvo two weeks ago without complications, has developed diarrhea, possibly related to coccidia. He is active and happy but has more frequent diarrhea episodes, including one that was bloody. No veterinarian is available until Tuesday. What can I do to treat or help my puppy?

My 5-year-old Portuguese Water Dog had significant kidney damage after being on Previcox for one month for shoulder pain. He has since recovered fully after receiving Doxycycline. Could he recover fully from this kidney insult, and is it possible that the Doxycycline helped despite the kidney damage being from Previcox?

Our dog has a swollen right front paw. We cannot tell if the swollen paw is from a sprain from chasing a deer or if it is from a scratch that he kept licking on the tip of his paw. Any idea what it might be? Thanks.
