It seems luck has turned against me. My dog needs help.

I'm no expert, and this is a random guess, but ... worms? Not the earth kind, but like the tapeworm kind?

As for MY woes:

• Leaving the state -- no, county -- no, TOWN where I've lived all my life
  
• One of my best friends is really sick
  
• I have this skin issue that's come up out of nowhere and makes me maddeningly itchy and sore
  
• My internet and computers keep going down and not coming back up easily, if at all
  

And I know what it feels like to lose a beloved pet... My pet cat was attacked by vicious bulldogs a few years ago. Fortunately he was living (pretty much permanently) at a friends house at that point so I never saw his torn up body...
