We have two dogs, one 9 years old and one 13 years old, who have recently battled fleas. The younger dog has developed three bald spots on his back near the tail, about a quarter size each. He is scratching again but I haven’t seen him chewing this area, and there are no fleas. I am worried he has mange or something else. What could be causing these bald spots and what should I do?

My dog, Atlas, a 2.5-year-old, is whimpering, has a tucked tail, and is shaking. The shaking started about an hour ago, and there are no other symptoms like coughing, limping, or drooling. What could be causing this, and what should I do?

Our 13-year-old dachshund has hyperproteinurea, hypertension, and a level 3 heart murmur. She is currently taking benazepril, amlodipene (which may be discontinued), and recently started Telmisartan. She is experiencing dry heaving and loose stools since starting Telmisartan. We were given a 7-day supply of Fortiflora Pro to help with digestive side effects, but I can't find literature indicating it's effective for medication side effects. Could you comment on the effectiveness of Fortiflora Pro for this purpose?

My Australian Shepherd, Ahsoka, ingested about 500mg of acetaminophen around 3 hours ago. She weighs 25 to 30 pounds and is 6 years old. She seems to be doing okay, no unusual behavior, and is drinking normally. Should I be concerned, and what should I do next?

My dog suddenly started limping last night after running. Does he need to be seen by a vet?
