Our dog, Baylee, a 2.5-year-old mixed breed rescue, has been uncontrollably scratching for 3 weeks, leading to fur loss and skin sores. She is on a flea preventative, but we spotted one flea recently. The worst area is above her tail, and she has extreme thirst but not much urination. She is also crying and not eating much. We recently returned from Block Island, where she swam in salt water. What could be causing this, and what steps should we take to help her?

My dog, Joey, a 2-year-old, 40-pound dog, ate an entire chapstick two days ago and has been struggling to use the bathroom since. The chapstick ingredients are Beeswax, microcrystalline wax, ozokerite wax, petroleum oil, Shea butter, patrolium, polisobutylene, mathyparipen, propyparaben, and tocopherol acetate. He might have also ingested a small amount of plastic from chewing the container. What should I do?

My 31 lb French bulldog ate 4 grapes. I know they can be poisonous, but my husband didn't. Should I wait and see, call the vet in the morning, or go to urgent care?

My 4-year-old Pitbull, Bambi, has been itching and chewing her skin intensely for almost two weeks. Her skin is bright red, and I've been giving her Benadryl, but it's not helping. What could be causing this and what should I do?

My dog ate a roach bait. She weighs 24 pounds and is 3 years old. I put her in a kennel, and I have been gone for 5 hours. The roach bait was a little square black one, not new, and used. What should I do?
