My 8-year-old toy poodle yelps when he changes positions or is picked up. He also stands and stares at me, which is new behavior. He has seizures a few times a year but is not on medication for it. What could be causing his discomfort, and what should I do?

My dog, Chance, a 6-year-old, 50-pound dog, got into a diaper around 2pm and ate some of it. He has not vomited but keeps licking his lips and seems unable to relax. What should I do, and what signs should I look out for if he has a blocked GI tract?

My dog, Kash, a 4 1/2-year-old neutered boxer, has been throwing up (initially food, then white, slimy vomit) and experiencing muscle spasms that pull his head to the right, making it painful for him to lift his head high. He has had recent surgery and is on antibiotics and pain medication. What could be causing this and what can I do to help him until I can get him to the vet?

My dog won't stop itching, especially in his armpit area, which is now irritated, red, and has lost hair due to the constant scratching. Can you tell me what this might be and what I can do to help alleviate his itching and promote hair regrowth?

My 8-year-old husky mix, Scrappy, yelped after getting off the couch and now yelps every time he tries to get up on a bed, couch, or go up stairs. He shows no signs of pain when laying down, sitting, walking, or when we press on him. What could be causing this and what should I do?
