I have a 15 lb dog, about a year old, that I think has mange. It has been going on for about a month, primarily on the center of her back. She eats well, drinks plenty of water, and scratches a lot, causing her skin to dry and flake. I live in a place with many other dogs that have mange, and I can't afford a vet visit until later. What can I do to help my dog?

Our dog Terry, who is almost 7 years old, was sleeping and then started trying to clear her throat for 20 minutes. We noticed brown spots near where she sleeps, which smell like beef liver. This is unusual for her. What could be causing this and what should we do?

My dog, Fluer, drank latex paint (Stormcoat brand) about an hour ago. She took 2 or 3 swallows before I could stop her. She hasn't shown any symptoms yet. What should I do to ensure she's safe and if necessary, how can I dilute the paint?

My 5-month-old golden retriever puppy, Betty, had an allergic reaction causing swelling around her left eye, nose, and mouth. The vet gave her Benadryl and added a steroid, but she has thrown up both medications. The vomit was mostly food with a little foam and liquid. The vet suspects the reaction was from eating a spider or bug, and the vomiting started after the steroid. Betty also had redness in her ears, they were warm to the touch, and she had a high temperature but not quite a fever. What should I do to help Betty with her symptoms and prevent further vomiting?
