My lab mix keeps getting ringworm, especially on his belly. He's a house dog, clean, no fleas but does love the pool and his kiddy pool. We had it cleared up, but it's back, even though we dry him off after he swims. Now our son has a spot on his hip that could be ringworm. Will athlete's foot cream help, like I've heard?

Our dog got sand in his eyes. He keeps his eyes partially closed and is very subdued. He cries when we try to wash his eyes. What should we do, and is it safe to wait until morning to take him to the vet?

My 4-month-old Pomeranian has something wrong with one of his eyes. It looks like a torn lens or a circular soft contact lens on the surface of the eye. How can I determine if it's something less serious?

Two dogs, one 10 years old and the other 4 years old, exhibited symptoms including staggering, excessive hunger and thirst, labored breathing, kidney failure, and seizures over a 48 to 72 hour period. All blood tests came back clean, and they tested negative for antifreeze poisoning. The dogs had no history of vomiting or diarrhea, but they did have exposure to acorns and played in a creek. What could be causing these symptoms?

My 7-year-old pug was diagnosed with seizures 1.5 years ago and is on phenobarbital. Recently, she has been disoriented, off-balance, and falling to the right. Her phenobarbital levels are on the high side, and she had a mild seizure a year ago. What could be causing her current symptoms, and should I be concerned about a brain tumor or other serious condition?
