My dog, Teddy, a 3-year-old, won't stop biting his tail, which is matted and very red, possibly a hotspot. He has been doing this for about 2 to 3 days. Additionally, we found his fecal matter with maggots under the bed yesterday. We've tried telling him to stop and giving him treats, but it seems he can't control it. We also placed a cone on him this morning, but he's uncomfortable. What could be causing this behavior, and what should we do?

My schnauzer, Duncan, just turned 1 in April. He is constantly itching, and I've noticed his black fur turning reddish brown in some areas. He is an indoor dog but goes outside occasionally. When did you first notice the itchiness? Has Duncan been licking or rubbing the skin?

My Maltese female dog is always hyper and when I open the cage door and hold her to prevent her from running around in the garden, she urinates on the floor immediately. Is this a normal behavior or an indication of some problem?

My 6-week-old puppy, Chanel, has been experiencing shaking, diarrhea, and is very hot for the past 2 days. When I pick her up, she cries, which might indicate her belly hurts. What could be causing this, and what can I do to help her?

My dog, Sassy, was bitten by another dog today. There is no bleeding, but she cries when I touch the area. I applied antibiotic cream, and she ate a little. I don't have the money to take her to the vet. What can I do?
