When is the best time to spay my female Labrador? Some people suggest six months, others say one or two years. If I spay around one to two years, will it cause elongated nipples? Additionally, when do Labradors typically have their first heat cycle, how long does it last, and how frequent are the heat cycles?

My dog, Milli, has raw skin at the base of her tail and on her tail, with scabs, and she won't let me look at it. She's licking it constantly and is bothered by it a lot. She's also drinking more water than usual, but her eating and pooping are normal. She had a steroid shot for the irritation last month, but it didn't help. What could be causing this and what should I do?

I have a 4-year-old female poodle who has had 3 litters and pushes them away at the right time when they need to start eating soft food. One pup from her 2nd litter, now about 2 years old, still nurses with new babies even when they are old enough to stop. I separated them for 30 days and it was right back to nursing. How do I stop it and could this make the mom sick?

My dog, Kiara, has a lot of fleas and some areas on her back and neck have scars from old ticks or active minor skin cuts. Can I use Frontline spray to bathe her without causing an infection due to the current cuts?
