My dog, Charlotte, a 3-year-old pit and bull terrier mix, has hard bumps on her back that itch. She licks and shakes her head constantly. She has had a shot twice, which helped a bit, but I'd like to give her better relief. Can I use human Benadryl for dogs, and is there anything else the vet should know about Charlotte's skin condition?

Hello. My 30 lbs schnoodle licked some chocolate flavored tootsie pop. About how much of the chocolate did the dog lick? When was this? Has the dog thrown up since then? What's the dog's name and age? Is there anything else the Vet should know?

One of my dogs ate 1 Alka-Seltzer Cold Plus Nighttime. The dog weighs 50 lbs, is 10 years old, and is otherwise very healthy. It has been about an hour since the incident, and the dog has not vomited. The dog is not acting differently other than being lazy, which is normal for a Basset Hound. What should I do, and is there any cause for concern?

Is it better to feed a one-year-old dog named Remington, who is currently in good health and eating regular dog food, a diet of people food (meat and vegetables) instead of dog food?

My 7-year-old deaf Australian Shepherd, who is also partially blind, is leaking urine and has had a couple of accidents while sleeping. There is no color or smell to the urine, no changes in appetite, no excessive drinking, diarrhea, or vomiting. She has been on a homemade diet recommended by our holistic vet. Could I have caused this or do you think it is stones? She came from a hoarding situation at age four, so we do not know her background.
