My miniature schnauzer, Carly, has been non-stop itching for an unknown duration, with no visible bugs. She tries to lick and scratch, especially around her neck, where she has an open sore that isn't healing. She has had these bumps her whole life but they have recently started to open up. What could be causing her itching and how can I help her?

My dog, Roxie, a 7-year-old, hasn't wanted to eat or drink today, is shaking, has a gurgly stomach, and her gums are pale. She seems a bit tired and got fed some snacks last night which might have upset her stomach. Should I be concerned and do I need to find an emergency clinic?

I have an 11-year-old German Shepherd named Avalanche who is exhibiting distress, vomiting for several hours, and is restless and whining constantly. The vomit is very liquidy with white foam and he is drinking water, which he is also throwing up. His gums are mostly soft pink with some brown spots, and he was panting heavily earlier but seems to be more comfortable with ice packs. What can I treat this with, and if yes, with what?

Hello! My dog, Bindi, a 4-year-old weighing 50 pounds, got into my vitamins and a few medications, including magnesium supplements, a multivitamin, 50 mg of Zoloft per day, and a birth control pill per day. She consumed these within the last hour and has not vomited since. What should I watch for or if she needs to go in?

My dog, Seven, has a swollen left ear that is itching constantly. I have been giving her Benadryl and children's ibuprofen, but it's not helping. How can I address this issue without taking her to the vet due to financial constraints?

I have an old cat over 15 years old with a mouth/gum infection. The cat is too old for dental procedures and has already undergone numerous tests without treatment. I need a prescription for amoxicillin-clavulanate (amoxi clav) drops to clear up the infection and make the cat more comfortable. Can you provide a prescription or recommend a vet in Calgary who would prescribe the medication without requiring a full check-up, considering the high costs associated with vet visits in Canada?
