My puppy is excessively scratching one side of his neck, which has a hard red bump and some sort of plaque. He is a 4-month-old French bulldog and had initial flea/tick/heartworm prevention treatment at the store. There are no visible ticks or fleas, but the area was shaved for an ultrasound a couple of days ago. What could be causing this and what should I do?

My 13-year-old pug, Loki, has had black, tar-like growths on his feet and lower legs since last summer. The growths crumble off a little but seem attached to his skin. His breath is also very bad, likely due to dental issues. What could this be and how can it be treated?

The dog is a 5-year-old Pit lab cross weighing 55 lbs and does not seem to be in pain. What could be causing this sudden change in behavior and what should I do?

My 10-week-old puppy, Tanner, had worms and diarrhea when I got him. He was dewormed on January 2, but he still has worms and diarrhea, including bloody mucus diarrhea. He is still playful, but this has been going on for too long. What can I do to help him?

My 11-year-old, 150-pound dog, Moses, ate about 6 inches long and less than 1/8 inch thick of Bondo fiberglass epoxy resin that has hardened. He has not vomited since ingesting it 10 minutes ago. Should I make him throw up or take him to the vet?
