My dog is chewing and licking her paws excessively, causing tenderness and limping. She has been losing hair on her paws, which are discolored, and she is sleeping a lot. This behavior started over a month ago. She is a 5-year-old pit bull mix with a history of ear infections, likely due to allergies. What could be causing this and what should I do?

My 10-year-old toy poodle, Sonny, had vaccinations three days ago and has since experienced two days of diarrhea followed by vomiting and shivering. The vomit initially contained food (white rice) and later turned foamy. He has not eaten anything unusual and had a clear fecal test before the vaccine. What could be causing his symptoms and what steps should I take to help him?

My 6-pound, 10-month-old Chihuahua sometimes acts weird, looking scared with her ears back, not giving kisses, walking off-balance, and flinching when petted. Her head also leans to the side as if sleepy. This has happened a few times before and she seemed to sleep it off. Is this common or normal behavior? Should I take her to the ER?

My dog, Archie, a 1-year-old, 18-lb dog, might have eaten 2 Keppra pills, 1 thyroid pill, and 1 arthritis pill from my other dog's medication. What should I do and are there any potential adverse effects?

Our three dogs ate almost an entire container of Sam's two-bite brownies. We have a 5-year-old lab (100 lbs), a 5-year-old cocker spaniel (29 lbs), and a 1-year-old cocker spaniel (19 lbs). We do not know how much they each ate, and this was 30 minutes ago. What should we do?

My puppy, Ella, got her head stuck in her gravity feeder, and I can't get it off. She has been stuck for 10 minutes and is still able to breathe, but I have tried cutting it off without success due to the thick plastic. She was last seen at the vet last month and is almost 4 months old. What should I do?
