My older dog, Corky, a 12-year-old Corgi Lab, has one large, black nail growing out of her regular nail. It has been a concern for about a year and doesn't seem to bother her. She last saw a vet for shots and a nail trim about two months ago and isn't on any medications. What's going on with the nail?

My 3-year-old dog, Azula, has been experiencing shallow breathing, irregular heart rate, and aimless staring. She was hit by a car a month ago and was prescribed medication, but no serious issues were noted. Should I be concerned about her current condition?

My 2.5-year-old male dog has enlarged, scabby nipples and occasional seizures. He occasionally chews and scratches at his nipples, eats normally, and has had three seizures since late September 2020. Additionally, he has scabs in his ears and shakes his head. What could be causing these issues and what should I do?

I have a breeding establishment of 8 bitches and recently some of my puppies were found to have diarrhea when they moved to new owners. The cause has been identified as Giardia, which is difficult to eliminate. I was wondering if I could give the lactating bitches Panacur or some other medicine to reduce the effects of Giardia in the puppies, or if keeping the puppies until they are 3 months old would reduce the risk of illness compared to 8 weeks old. Is there any way to reduce the risk to the new buyers?

My dog ate a peel-off face mask. He's been having diarrhea all day, and now there's blood in his stool. What should I do?

My rabbit, Winston, is showing early signs of stasis. He is eating hesitantly, had a bad shed, and is a bit lethargic. He's been having string of pearls, aggression towards his partner, and smaller Cocoa Puffs than usual. He recently refused kale but started eating again after being given critical care through a syringe. Should I take him to the vet, even though he's eating, albeit belabored?
