My 11-year-old dog, Rico, has never had an ear infection before. On Monday, I noticed a significant smelly discharge from his right ear.

My mixed breed (mostly Pom) 12-year-old dog, Guy Noir, has lost a couple of pounds in the last month, has trouble with bowel movements, eats less, sleeps a lot, can't jump on the couch, has withering muscles, an extended and tight belly, still goes on short walks and urinates ok, and drinks plenty of water. What can I do for him?

My 2-year-old German Shepherd St. Bernard mix, Daisy, ingested around 5mg-10mg of Adderall. She weighs 80 pounds and has not vomited since ingestion, which was between 4pm-6pm. What are the potential effects and should I be concerned?

My dog often takes things she's not supposed to have and runs away when confronted. She also reacts aggressively when I try to pet her while she's chewing on a bone or eating, and she has snapped at my mom. This behavior started when she was teething and has continued. How can I modify her behavior and manage my anxiety around her?
