My dog, Winnie, a 4-year-old Chihuahua mix, has been chewing on her paws, particularly between the pads on the front and back right, for about 2-3 months. The area is very red but not bleeding. She also drags her butt across the carpet. I don't know of any allergies, and she doesn't seem to itch anywhere else. What could be causing this, and what can I do to help her?

My dog, Bulma, a 2-year-old, has had a swollen mouth and tongue since early this morning. She also had diarrhea once and vomited three times between noon and 3pm. Could this be an allergic reaction or infection? If it's due to plants she might have eaten in the yard, will Benadryl still work? How much should I give her, and should I use the adult or children's formulation?

My dog, Elle, a 3-year-old Havanese, has a swollen and red vagina that she keeps licking. This started today. Her appetite is good, and she doesn't seem more tired than usual, but she is uncomfortable. I gave her an amoxicillin I had left over to help her sleep. She is fixed and takes Simparica once a month for flea and tick prevention. Is she having a hard time urinating? Are there any other medications or previous diseases I should know about?

Can my 12-week-old puppy travel from LA to Atlanta for a 5-day trip to stay at my friend's home, who has two boys aged 8 and 13, given that the puppy has only received his first set of shots?

My mixed poodle, 5 years old, is experiencing seizures that last between 2-5 minutes, with some lasting up to 10-15 minutes. The seizures are becoming more frequent, with the first one occurring about 2 years ago and several more in the past few months. During the seizures, he can walk a little and mostly moves his legs and arms around. What could be causing these seizures and what should I do?
