My dog, Timmy, a 14-year-old Schnauzer mix weighing 22 lbs, has been diagnosed with diabetes since July 2022 and has been on Vetsulin. Due to insulin resistance, our vet wants to switch him to Humulin NPH. I requested switching to Novalin insulin, but the vet prefers Humulin NPH. Is there any reason why Humulin NPH might be preferred over Novalin insulin, given that both are NPH insulins?

My 18-month-old Husky, Casper, has been refusing to eat, even treats and peanut butter, and is drinking a lot of water. He's been less playful lately and has lost weight. He has a light, runny nose but shows no signs of pain. What can I do to help him, especially since I can't afford to take him to the vet?

My German Shepherd has been constantly itching his armpits for about a month, losing some hair, and the skin looks raw and irritated. We think it might be some sort of skin condition. How can I treat him?

My 7-month-old dog, Winston, has a large lump under his chin/neck. We initially gave him Benadryl thinking it was a bug bite or sting, but it hasn't improved. What could this lump be, and what should we do next?

My Westie, Aspen, has been vomiting for two days without any signs of blood or diarrhea. He's drinking water but refusing to eat, and he's been throwing up about three times a day, with the vomit looking like bile. He's still playful when engaged but lays down when left alone. What could be causing this and what should I do?
