We have a problem with immune fleas on our Shorkie dogs, Shiloh and Talah, aged 8 and 9. Despite trying various over-the-counter flea treatments and a dip, there is always one flea left behind, causing severe scratching due to allergies. What additional steps can be taken to eliminate the fleas and alleviate the scratching?

My 14-year-old Border Collie, Izzy, has a history of allergies and has been on Prednisone for 13 years. She has been sneezing more due to high ragweed levels and now has blood coming from her nose. She has been drinking more water, is stiff, and has trouble getting around. Could the blood be from her sinuses? What can I do to help her until I can get her to the vet?

We adopted a rescue dog, Jake, a 3-year-old pit bull mix, 6 months ago. He has always been nervous and excited, but recently he has been peeing more frequently, even when touched, and his urine is dark and potent smelling. He is also more tired than usual and not playing as he used to. Could he have a UTI, and how can I tell? Additionally, he is not a big water drinker, but when he does drink, he empties his water bowl. What could be causing these issues, and what can I do to help him?

My 9-month-old mini poodle, Azula, vomited in her kennel and I found a worm in the vomit. She recently tried a new food mixed with her regular kibble, which included a refrigerated meat tube from the pet store. Her vomit contained food but wasn't foamy or super liquidy. What should I do, and is the new food a concern?

My 12-year-old dog, Allis, is drooling excessively and has liquid stool. She was fine this morning and hasn't eaten anything unusual. She isn't up to date on her shots and we live in the country without much interaction with other dogs. What could be causing this and what should I do?
