Q. Our pug has been licking her paws and hind legs constantly. Took her to the vet and she was prescribed dry duck and potato food. Hasn't helped, she still licks constantly. We purchased a collar which has prevented her licking but can't wear it all the time. With a $72 vet bill and $38-$39 for food, we don't want to go back. What should we do? -- MaryAnn S., Foster City, CA

Q. We live in our RV fultime. We just took our first trip, 8 hrs to AL, 8 hrs back. Our cat, who is 13, was fine before we left. She hid under the bed the entire trip and seemed sick when we arrived in AL. We were there only two days and traveled home. She again hid under the bed for the entire 8 hrs and now has been sick since. She vomits and will not eat. She drinks very little water. Will she recover on her own or do i need to take her to the vet?? -- Frances D., Navarre, FL

Skye goes from Texas to Colorado when we ski. She is a great traveler watching traffic--without moving off of her mat the whole 11 hours--except for stops. She is an escape artist at home. She can slide bolt locks, open gates, doing whatever it takes to get out. Everyone in the neighborhood looks knows her and loves to hear about her antics. -- Jan H., Lubbock, TX More
