My dog, Scotty, a 13-14 year old mini schnauzer, started getting itchy and developed welts all over his body earlier today. We bathed him, gave him a small dose of Benadryl, which seemed to help but the welts are back and he's restless. What could be causing this and what should we do?

I believe my 1-year-old German Shepherd, Walter, has a urethra prolapse. I noticed it when I took him out. He hasn't had any problems before, and it's almost midnight with no local vets open. What should I do?

My 4-year-old dog, Oscar, who is usually housebroken, has suddenly peed large puddles all around the house overnight. He seems normal otherwise, playing and drinking water as usual. Should I take him to the vet, and what could be the cause of this behavior?

My 5-month-old dog, Weston, who weighs 11.2 pounds, is swallowing hard, gagging, and trying to vomit unsuccessfully. He just ate about a half cup of food 10 minutes ago, but this behavior started before that. He had a normal bowel movement, his breathing is fine, and his gums are a normal pink color.

What could be causing this and what should I do?

I have a 20-week-old 'bully' pitbull puppy named Gucci. He has been acting strangely by not wanting to leave his bed, avoiding me when I call him, and showing signs of fear. What could be causing this behavior and what can I do to help him?
