I have an 8-week-old puppy named Lily who has a bump under her jaw and dry lips. The bump doesn't seem to affect her, and she's still eating, playing, and full of energy. What should I do?

My dog Tiko has a history of coughing episodes, retching, sneezing, and itching, which seem to be seasonal and possibly allergy-related. He has been on various medications including prednisone, apoquel, and sucralfate, with mixed results. I am considering allergy testing and immunotherapy, but I am unsure of the best timing and type of treatment (injections vs. sublingual drops). Additionally, I am concerned about the long-term use of medications like apoquel and the potential for them to lose efficacy over time. What is your opinion on the likely cause of Tiko's symptoms and the best treatment course, including the timing and type of immunotherapy?

I have a 2-year-old Blue Heeler named Lucky who has been scratching excessively for several months, causing raw spots. I've been using a cone to prevent him from scratching but don't like keeping it on all the time. Additionally, Lucky is not eating well and seems underweight. What can I do to address these issues without incurring a vet bill?
