I just got my 6-month-old dog, Sal, neutered on Monday. I’m worried his incision may be infected despite using a cone and keeping him calm.

My dog, Autumn, an Aussador, has been scooting and licking her butt. She had a similar issue last year with an infected anal gland that swelled and ruptured. There is no obvious swelling or discharge now, and her stool is normal. What can I do to prevent an infection?

I found a lump on the side of my 5-month-old dog, Waldo. The lump is soft and covered by fur. It's located behind his right front paw and doesn't seem to be getting larger. Waldo is otherwise active and has no history of trauma or other medical problems. What could this lump be and what should I do?

My 12-year-old mini dachshund, Jessie, has been shaking his ears and has yellow liquid coming out of them since Sunday. His ears are red and inflamed, and there is a foul odor. He is on a flea/tick preventative but has no history of ear infections or allergies. What could be causing this and what should I do?
