My hamster has been barbering her hair for months, itching all the time, and has significant hair loss on her back. The vet initially attributed this to stress from an eye infection, but I believe it's something else. What could be causing this issue and what steps can I take to address it?

The hair loss and itching in your hamster could be due to mites or lice, which are common in hamster...

My dog, Sassy, ate grass and vomited the night before last. Now she's lethargic, but she's eating, drinking, and going to the bathroom normally. What can I do for her?

My dog, Kallie, age 1.5, was operated on for spaying and has since developed a kidney problem and a large lump in her stomach. She won't eat or drink, and the vet who performed the spaying won't take her back as a patient. I need a traveling vet to come to my home in Calcium, N.Y. Is there one close by?

I have a 4-week-old piglet that has stopped eating, wants to be left alone, and has had loose stools since yesterday. What can I do to help?

My 10-week-old lab/German Shepherd, Milo, weighing about 35 pounds, ate ant and spider killer. I'm not sure how much was ingested. What should I do and what symptoms should I watch for?

My greyhound, Bandito, got into a fight with another dog and has a large gash on his side. He's panting and I'm concerned he might be running a fever. I've been patting his tummy with cool water, but I'm not sure if this is necessary. Should I wait until my vet opens at 7:30, or is there anything else I should do in the meantime?
