My dog pooped on the floor and is itching his ear. How old is your dog, what kind of dog is he, and what is his name? When you try to look inside his ear, does he yelp or pull away? Does his ear look red? Is there any odor or discharge coming from it? Does it seem to hurt him when you touch it? How much does he weigh, and can you recommend a dosage of Benadryl for his itching?

My Shih Tzu, Pheebe, is fidgety and can't settle down, a behavior she has never exhibited before. She started showing this behavior this evening. I've tried petting her to reassure her, but she calms down only to become fidgety again. Her food and routine haven't changed. What could be causing this behavior, and what can I do to help her?

I recently got a dog named Nova, who is about 4-5 years old and spayed. She has a history of skin issues, previously diagnosed as allergies, but I suspect it might be mites or mange. She has been treated with Apoquel, steroids, and antibiotics, but the condition persists. She has an odor, swollen paws, and ear infections. Her skin is very dry, and she has areas of hair loss. What could be causing these issues, and what immediate steps can I take to provide relief?
