We have two dogs in the house, a 1.5-year-old Bernese named Bilbo and a 16-year-old Yorkie named Brandi. Recently, I found brown flaky scabs on Bilbo that cause his fur to rip up and skin to pull back when touched. I applied ointment twice a day for a few days, but tonight I found the same issue on Brandi. I'm concerned they might have a parasite or mites, putting other pets and children in the house at risk. What could this be, and what should I do?

My Yorkie, Tonks, is shaking, uncomfortable, vomited once in the middle of the night, seemed unable to poop but now has diarrhea after having fluids and chicken for breakfast. The vomit was pumpkin purée she had eaten a few hours before. She had some teeth pulled a few weeks ago and has been on soft foods. What could be the issue and what should I do?

My golden retriever, Aubrey, ate a 73% cacao dark chocolate bar (85 grams) about 45 minutes ago. She weighs about 80-90 lbs and hasn't shown any signs of vomiting or acting differently. What should I do?

Our dog, a Maltese Shih Tzu named Alfie, has eaten two digestive biscuits with a thin layer of chocolate on top. Alfie weighs around 9-9.5kg and is 20 months old. What should we do?

My 11-month-old St. Bernard, Russky, has small bumps on the top of his head. Some are red, and some aren't, varying in sizes. I noticed them a few days ago, and he hasn't been licking or rubbing the area. What could these bumps be, and what should I do?
