We have a new puppy, a 9-week-old teacup bichon/poodle weighing 1.3 lbs. She has a rash and is itching everywhere, with little scabs. We are in Houston and everything is closed due to weather. What can I do to help her, and should I use coconut oil or continue with Benadryl?

My Siberian Husky, Shadow, has been suffering from separation anxiety, crying, whining, and panting for over 24 hours. He was diagnosed with epilepsy a year ago and is on medication for it, and was also diagnosed with separation anxiety as a puppy and was on trazadone for it, but he’s been out of the medication and I couldn’t get a hold of his regular vet for a refill. What can I do to help him?

My dog, Bella Rhina, born on 12/5/2011, has little red spots like blood on the nipple of her teat. She is spayed, has had all her teeth removed except the canines, is allergic to fleas and has skin allergies. She also started licking her paws when I changed her diet to one without by-products and freeze-dried food. What could be causing these spots and should I be concerned?

My dog, Beaux, is shaking a lot. Earlier he threw up and was panting a lot but those symptoms have subsided. Now he is just shaking slightly while laying with me. He was refusing treats but accepted them and was interested in our dinner. The vomit was more liquidy and did not contain food. He has been lethargic but was excited to go for a walk. He is 1 year old and has not eaten anything unusual that we noticed. What could be causing this and what should I do?
