Our Canine Kids Springtime Health Issues

Each of our canine kids have their annoying health issues this springtime.
  Dolly (the Weimaraner) tore out a nail at day care 2 weeks ago and it's still painful and healing. I wrap it up at night and medicate it. She's also had horrible stomach/digestive issues for the last couple of days and is now on a mild antibiotic and immodium for inflammatory bowel problems.
  Franklin the Dachshund seems to like to dig in a nest of spiders and got a 3rd spider bite this spring on his front paws. So he gets Benadryl (it works) and the swelling has gone down.
  Sprite our 14 year old foster dachshund got a urinary tract infection (we caught it on day 2) and is on antibiotics. He wouldn't sleep through the night for a week, wanting to be let out at 2 or 3 am. Now his heart murmur seems to be limiting him to short walks.
