My standard poodle, Lily, has been scratching constantly for 4 days. Our other poodle is not scratching at all. Lily last saw a vet over a year ago and is not on any medications. She is 3 years old and everything else seems fine, but she is up all night. I have tried Benadryl and a medicated shampoo. What could be causing the scratching, and what can I do in the meantime until I can get her to a vet on September 7th?

My Boykin Spaniel, Finley, is having trouble walking, appearing drunk and tilting to one side. Her eyes move from side to side when she's still. She was seen by a vet yesterday and prescribed doxycycline, prednisone, and clindamycin, but the vet couldn't identify the issue. What could be causing this and what should I do?

My dog, Max, a 13-year-old Jack Russell weighing about 25 lbs, ate about 10 small purple grapes about 30 minutes ago. He has a history of glaucoma, had his eyes removed in 2020, has multiple skin tags, an abnormal heart beat, and could use a 5 lb weight loss. He has had grapes before with no serious issues other than diarrhea. What should I do?

My 10-week-old Border Collie puppy, Blitzen, has had diarrhea for about 4 days. He isn't lethargic, but he won't eat his hard dog food and prefers chicken and meats. The diarrhea is a lighter brown, no blood, and very soft. Should I try home remedies or consult a vet?
