My pitbull, Kira, has blackheads and sores on her sides and belly. She licks, rubs, and scratches frequently, and has had skin issues her whole life, which have recently worsened. We have tried steroids like prednisone prescribed by her vet and changed her food, but the issues persist. She also gets sores that release watery fluid and pus. What can be done to treat her skin issues, and what type of food should she be eating?

My 10-week-old puppy, Kiki, started vomiting yesterday at 9pm and hasn't eaten since. She is also more tired than usual and was limping earlier without any apparent injury. She has had watery stool but not diarrhea, and she is drinking a lot of water. I'm concerned because she was around daffodils in the yard, and I'm not sure if she ate any. What should I do to help her, and is there anything I can do to prevent dehydration until I can get her to the vet?
