We live in NJ, just moved here from a non-humid climate in CO. Our dog, a 35lb Blue Heeler mix, has been biting and itching her skin raw the past week. I have checked for fleas and don't see any, plus she is on K9 Advantix II for fleas/ticks. I ran into someone who said her dogs are allergic to the grass here, and was wondering if that could be it? How do I stop her from itching so her skin can heal?

The most likely cause of your dog's itching is allergies, which could be due to environmental factor...

Is the prescribed dosage of Tramadol 50mg twice a day for 4 days safe for my 7-year-old Golden Retriever girl who weighs 68 lbs, and can I expect any side effects?

My 3-year-old Australian Shepherd recently had a bout of vomiting, which led to blood in her vomit. The vet performed tests including a PT/PTT, a K9 health profile, and an X-ray, but the results were inconclusive, suggesting it could be an ulcer. She was given IV fluids and medications, and initially improved but has since lost her appetite and is less energetic. She has diarrhea with blood, and we are concerned about her lack of appetite and dehydration. What else should the vet be looking for, and at what point should we consider taking her back to the clinic?

I have a 6-month-old German Shepherd that has just started shaking and vomiting. She vomited twice, did not get into anything that we could find, has been shaking for about 45 minutes before vomiting, and weighs about 40 lbs. The shaking is much worse than if she was cold, she can hardly stand, and her gums are pinkish. I can get her to walk but she shakes a lot and moves very slowly.

My male Boston Terrier is 10 years old. Would it help to have him neutered? What are the benefits and risks? He has a heart murmur.

My English Bulldog has had diarrhea for 3 days, and this morning he vomited. He has been treated for fire ant bites and has shown interest in eating and drinking, but his urine is darker yellow. What should I do to help him recover, and can he have his Trifexis medication?
