Abscess? ...and from what?
Had an emergency with one of my dogs today. Looks like an abscess, started from something unknown at this point. I think it's possibly from a spider bite, however the Vet thinks it's unlikely due to the fact that situation is rare. Would like some feedback. Hoping maybe someone has experience...

This damned anal gland..
Grimm had an impacted anal gland about 3 or 4 weeks ago. He was put on two antibiotics. At the end of the two week course, it abscessed. So, it was lanced and he was put on a second course. Now, about a week and a half in, it seems to be abscessing again. Any tips?

You ever had fly problems on your dogs? My two Labradors have some issues with getting swarmed and bitten. We rub GoJo, (A hand soap), just plain on their ears and head. The flies are GONE now. :) Hope this helped. :)

UTI, or something else?
Bailey is leaking. It started about a month ago (that I noticed). One day, we got back from a walk and he had gotten a drink then layed down on his bed, and maybe 10-15 minutes later, he peed. He didn't seem to realize that he was doing it, and looked shocked once he noticed it. I figured he just...
