Our 3-year-old dog Cami has a broken nail. It is not displaced, and she is mostly as active as usual, but she seems to experience pain here and there. There may be a small amount of blood, but she keeps licking it so we're not sure. Can we wrap, use bacitracin, etc.? Other suggestions?

We have a 2-year-old German Shepherd who started excessively licking her rear end after being at a kennel for 3 days. The vet prescribed prednisone (10 mg) every other day, but the behavior returns when she stops taking it. What could be causing this and what can be done to address it?

My dog seems to be grunting like he has a hairball or something in his lungs. He is making an odd sound and stands still trying to breathe. Is there anything I can do about this?

One of my puppies is showing symptoms of parvo, such as vomiting mucus, after its brother died of the same condition three days ago. They didn't receive their shots after birth and are now 6-8 months old. What should I do since I don't have the money to take both of them to the vet?

My dog is acting weird. She can't jump up on the couch, she squeals when I touch her on her body, she shivers/shakes with her tail between her legs. She has no energy and up until late Wednesday night had not eaten any of her wet food since Sunday morning. As of Thursday she has been eating, and her feces are small like the size of a golf tee. It normally is bigger. She has also been sounding like she has wheezing sounds. She is an indoor dog. What could be wrong with her?
