I clean my 8 lb. PomChi's eyes 2-3 times/week with Eye Pads mostly to avoid staining. Last week, I noticed a stye on the top lid of his left eye. I've been applying Erythromycin 2X/day for about a week, but the stye is red and seems to have 'come to a head'. Should I be alarmed?

My 10-year-old German Shepherd has a history of food allergies and developed erythema multiforme eight months ago, with major symptoms including a terrible sore in his mouth and skin issues on his belly and paws. He has been on hypoallergenic food for three years and prednisone helps but cannot be discontinued without the condition returning. He had a strong negative reaction to metronidazole. What could be causing this and what treatment options are available?

I have an 8-year-old mini poodle named Buddy who has been coughing and making a snorting/gagging sound. He has not been to a grooming or boarding facility recently, does not bring anything up when he coughs, and is lethargic. The cough sounds like he is snorting. What could be causing this and what should I do?

We had a pacemaker put in our small sheltie a few years ago. We've not kept up with the annual programming checkups due to cost, distance, and she seems okay. However, is it possible that she could be receiving occasional jolts to her heart by not having had this thing checked for proper programming for 2 years? She sometimes suddenly rises up or changes resting spots, which concerns me as I don't want her to experience any possible rhythm jolts due to not being at a good programming baseline.

I have a 16-year-old Springer. Occasionally her back legs give out, and lately, she has been pacing and walking in circles. Does this mean she is in pain or uncomfortable?
