My mom, who was a respected breeder, told me that salami is harmful for dogs due to its high fat content and can potentially shut down their kidneys if ingested in large amounts. I found my 3-year-old, 10 lb female poodle eating salami in the garage. Should I be concerned, and is there anything I should or shouldn't do?

My Great Dane has 10 puppies and her teats are breaking out in reddish spots, likely from the sharp puppy claws. Is it okay to use Vetericyn or Tropiclean Oxymed anti-itch spray on her, and how should I address her chin area which is bleeding slightly when she rubs it on carpets or towels?

My dog keeps biting his butt/tail, seems uncomfortable, and is very clingy. He also asks to go out to pee every hour, but won't pee in his crate. He just turned 1 year old and has been like this since he was 8 weeks old. What could be causing these issues and what should I do?

I have a four-year-old Bichon who is possibly having a delayed reaction to his rabies shot. He threw up, stopped eating, and had black tarry stools. He was given anti-nausea meds, Metronidazole, and sub-q fluids. Blood work and GI x-rays were normal. He had a good meal on Saturday but hasn't eaten since, and continues to have droplets of stool. He was given IV fluids, two antibiotics, and a GI track coater. He had a similar reaction three years ago after the rabies vaccine. He is home now but won't eat, just sleeps. I want to give him probiotics but can't get anything into his mouth. Should I continue with the antibiotics, and how can I get him to eat?

My dog just gave birth to a puppy with a front leg that is completely bent forward in half. Is there a cure for the puppy's leg, and can it be straightened through surgery?
