Can humans get parvovirus from dogs, and can a vaccinated dog still get parvovirus? If a dog with parvovirus returns home, how can we ensure the other dog doesn’t get it again, and how should the house be disinfected, especially carpets?

My puppy, Leia, received her first round of shots today and was acting normal. However, after being left alone for 4.5 hours, she was not her usual self, laying on her side weakly and yelping when picked up. Her appetite and stool are normal, and she hasn't eaten anything unusual. What could be causing her discomfort and what should I do?

I have a 12-week-old Cocker Spaniel mix puppy named Freckles who has a temperature of 111 (later corrected to 102.4) and diarrhea. She recently ate cat food and possibly some cat litter. She's eating and drinking, and her skin is not sticking together, indicating she's not dehydrated. What should I do?

My long-haired dachshund, Cam, has been experiencing skin lesions categorized as allergies by the vet. Despite treatment with clavamox and topical medication, the scabs have turned green/yellow and Cam continues to itch. I've also given him pet armor tablets and used veterinary formula antifungal shampoo, which reduced redness but not itchiness. What could be causing this and what further steps can be taken?

We adopted an older pit bull (13 years old) with severe arthritis and a wet cough. The cough started today. How long has the pit bull had this cough? Is he breathing okay? Is there anything else the vet should know before I connect you?
