Dear Doc,
I walked by the pond the other day and saw my reflection - I wasn't happy. My hips are pointy, you can see my ribs through my shabby hair coat and I just don't feel like my young spry self. Please help!

Dear Doc,
It is only the beginning of summer and these bugs are about to drive me through the fence! Buzzing around, biting me all of the time - I wish there was something that could help. I do have sensitive skin and try my best to use only natural products. Do you have any suggestions?

Dear Doc,
My coat was so pretty and shiny when I was at my old home in the barn. Now that we have moved and the barn is not finished, I am outside most of the time. With the summer sun, my coat is faded and brittle. Help!

Dear Doc,
I overheard my owner talking about how I was getting too chubby and that she was going to cut my food back once again! EEK! I only get a tiny bit now! It doesn't even cover the bottom of my bucket! I am only 4 years old. There is not much pasture and she gives me hay. Do I need more than what I am getting?
Wanting more,
Chubbs
Dear Doc,
I ask for your intervention. My humans have only provided me and a new two-year-old with this red mineral block in the pasture. All I taste is salt. Is there anything you can recommend that will help me perform like a champion and him grow strong teeth and bones?
Dutifully Yours,
Brittle and Stunty
