My pet dog is acting lethargic and has been scratching her upper neck area, causing a 1/2" lengthwise wound. There is also some white stuff on her left ear tip, which has been cleaned and treated with a topical skin lotion. What topical medicine can be used to help her heal the scratched area, and what other steps should be taken to address the underlying cause of her scratching?

My Neopolitan Mastiff puppy is 2 weeks away from his last vaccination (4th one). Can I take him to a friend's house where there is a fully vaccinated dog?

My small dog is shivering, his neck only moves to the left, and he yelps when I try to move it to the right. The right side of his neck is also swollen. What could be wrong and should I take him to the vet?

My 3-year-old Chihuahua, weighing 10 pounds, is showing symptoms of overheating, including panting and a bright red tongue, despite normal air temperature. I wrapped him in a cold towel, and he seemed more comfortable. He is clinging to me and has settled in my bed with a fan gently blowing on him. What could be causing this, and do you have any suggestions?

My 6-year-old male mini dachshund has been acting in pain for about 3 days. He suddenly yelped in pain when touched in the upper abdominal area, began shivering, and looked uncomfortable. He has been pacing, walking with an antalgic gait, and whimpering. His abdomen feels hard, and he has had no known trauma. He is eating normally and has normal bowel movements and urination. I am worried about potential causes like gall bladder issues, trauma, bloat, or intussusception. As long as he's eating and not vomiting or having diarrhea, is he not likely in imminent danger?
