My dog, Stelios, who is seven years old, has had ringworm for a couple of months. It had gone away but came back. Does he need to be dipped?

My grandson just bought a puppy from a private party and found a tick in its ear. Is there something safe to put in the puppy's ear to get the tick to release?

My 8-year-old lab mix, Sam, has been having trouble pooping, with it dripping out in little puddles. His nose is warm and dry, and he has become less active today. He is still eating and drinking. What could be causing this and what should I look out for?

My 7-month-old dog, Moose, swallowed small bits of a bathing suit, a chunk of a degradable plastic bag, and one side of a hard plastic hanger. It has been approximately 10 to 12 hours since the incident, and he is eating, playing, peeing, and pooping normally. He has pooped three times since the incident, with small shards of the plastic hanger in his stool. I have been giving him high-fiber bread after each poop. How long before we can say there is no issue?

I have a Great Dane named Bentley who recently experienced a sudden inability to lift or move his head or neck, followed by a yelp of pain when his head was lifted, but then he recovered completely within 30 minutes. The vet took an X-ray which was inconclusive for the last vertebrae in his neck, and Bentley does not show signs of wobblers, balance issues, or arthritis. The vet prescribed an anti-inflammatory and advised to monitor for recurrence. What is the most likely diagnosis? Is wobblers ruled out? Could it have been a sprain that healed quickly? Do dogs get torticollis?
