We adopted a 10-month-old dog named Guapita, whose vaccination status is unclear. Blood work showed low white blood cells, and the vet suspected a past tick bite, prescribing doxycycline. However, the dog refused to eat while on the antibiotic, so it was stopped. Now, the dog is regaining appetite but remains housebound until blood work improves. What should we do about the possible tick bite, and when can we start the vaccination process?

My dog, Bandit, a 6-year-old, has been chewing raw spots on his legs, starting with his back leg and now affecting a front leg. The chewing started a couple of weeks ago and has intensified recently. There are no known allergies, no medications, and no changes in his usual habits, including diet and activities. What could be causing this and what steps can be taken to address it?
