My dog, Max, a 5-year-old male, has been excessively licking his penis area for the past 2-3 days, leading to a buildup of smegma.

My dog, Franklin, had a neuter surgery 4 days ago. His scrotum is black, which was noticeable immediately after the surgery. He is not licking or chewing at the area, and he is not in pain. Everything else with him is normal—energy, eating, etc. Should I be concerned about the black scrotum, and what should I monitor for?

I have a Staffordshire Bull Terrier named Duke, who is 4 years old. He had an allergic reaction to ant bites, resulting in bumps and a rash. I've been giving him Benadryl 25 milligrams 2 to 3 times a day. His skin is hot, moist, and he scratches and bites at it all night. What can I do to help him, and should I take him to the vet?

My 9-year-old Schnauzer/Cocker Spaniel mix, Sadie, has been tucking her tail, having trouble climbing stairs and jumping, and her back legs and thighs are shaking. She still eats and drinks but less than usual. What could be the problem?
