Dog rubbing his face and losing whiskers

In the past three days, I have found two whiskers, one on the floor and the other one on our couch. My pug (3yo male neutered) rubbed his face on the couch and a whisker fell out. Do you think he might have a face infection or something or is it normal to lose whiskers. He also sometimes will sit and just lick repeatedly. Just lick the air. Maybe he is trying to lick his face because of an infection?

Dog with possible constipation and imodium

Chip (13yo Labrador cross - male neutered) ate a large amount of sliced turkey ( no bones ) and has not had a bowel movement since. ( 3 days ) He will also not eat. I contacted my vet and he recommended giving chip imodium ( anti diarreahl) Bloat has been ruled out due to the amount of time that has passed. Should imodium be used in what seems to be a constipation case? Wouldn't a laxative be more appropriate? I would contact Chip's vet again but it is after hours.

Dog with occasional blood in poop

sometimes after my dog (12 week old West Highland White female) has pooped, i find a little bit of blood in her stool. it is a bright red like nosebleed blood but not a dark red as if she would be bleeding internally. the blood is not in her stool everytime, but it is worrying me.also, the blood looks like it has mucas mixed with it.

Dog with skin allergies

My labrador (3yo neutered male) frequently suffers from skin allergies. Red irritation of areas of the skin that he constantly licks at. When this happens we usually take them to the vet where they receive antibiotic/ointment and the irritation subsides. Is there a home remedy or something else I can treat his skin with when this occurs?

dog with hair loss flaky itchy skin

Just this season "Tramp" (4yo Black Labrador Rottie cross, neutered female) has begun lossing small clumps of hair. Within a couple weeks it grows back. She also shows alot of "itching" which is very new. I have "flea-dipped" her and have used Hydrocortizone which helps some with the itching. I have also provided good flea & tick collar. I also do see some "flaking" of skin" or dandruff like symptoms.

dog with recurrence of mammary tumor

Last year my Belgian Shepard (7yo neutered - after the tumor) Heidi had a tumor removed on her mammary gland. The vet also removed the gland and she was spayed at that time. The tumor was cancerous but the gland was benign. This week I noticed two more cysts near the same site. The vet said that this was unusual also they felt firm. Monday Heidi will have the two cyst removed and a chest x-ray done to see if there is any sign of cancer in her lung area. My question is if there is no mammary gland why would the cyst grow back and since she was spade and hormones are not being produced what are the chances of these cyst being malignant. Please add any additional info you can and what would be your advice.
