My 8-year-old Pomeranian, Sadie, has had foul breath for a few weeks and experiences somewhat frequent diarrhea (about once a week) without any changes in diet or routine. She is up to date on vaccinations and worming. What could be causing these symptoms and what should I do to help her?

My 12-year-old dachshund, Zooey, has become extremely itchy within the past 24-48 hours. She is excessively itching and biting her rump and scratching with her legs. I have checked for fleas and found none. She has not had any changes in food, access to water, or environment, but the itching started at home. What could be causing her sudden itchiness?

My 55 lb boxer ran off our farm two days ago and now has a lump under her jaw, is lethargic, and has difficulty swallowing. We suspect she got bitten and want to treat her with oxytetracycline or doxycycline. What should we do?

My dog, Kayla, is shivering, shaking, and panting. She is 2 1/2 years old and has been showing these symptoms for a few days. Her gums are light pink, and there is no apparent appetite loss or discomfort. She occasionally gets bones but hasn't been out recently due to rainy weather. What could be causing these symptoms and what should I look out for?
