My 6-year-old Chihuahua Rat Terrier, Dexter, constantly rubs his face on the carpet, comforter, or his bed, especially after eating and in the morning. This behavior has been observed for about 6 months and occurs 3-4 times a day. Dexter also has hair loss around his muzzle/face area. What could be causing this behavior, and what steps should I take to address it?

My dog is experiencing severe hip pain and I would like to give him something that can alleviate his pain until I can get him to our vet. He is whimpering whenever he has to lay down or get up and when walking up stairs and getting up and down off of his bed.

My Husky has been off his food for approximately 1.5 days. He has become lethargic and started vomiting repeatedly, with the first vomit containing some solid substance and subsequent ones being mostly water. His stool today was smaller than normal. What should I do?

My little dog Brandi, 8 years 2 months old, was diagnosed with high cholesterol (377), triglycerides (694), and Alk Phosphatase (708). The vet prescribed Denamarin and wants to see her in one month to monitor Alk Phosphatase levels. The cost will be $674.00. Will my little Brandi be alright, and what kind of diet should I put her on for high cholesterol and triglycerides?

I have a 4-year-old Bloomenweiller bitch experiencing seizures. They started in December, occurring about 4 weeks apart but have increased significantly, with 4 seizures in 24 hours 9 days ago and 5 seizures in 17 hours yesterday. She is on Lamictin 25, 2 tablets twice daily, and seizures occur without warning, even while she is sleeping. She recovers quickly without after-effects. I've read about Phenobarbital. Could that be a solution?
