My 13-year-old female Lab mix, Belle, weighs approximately 60 lbs and has an inflamed right ear with no odor or drainage, but some head shaking. She has arthritis in her hips and is on Carprofen 100 mg QD and Gabapentin 300 mg BID. What can be done for her ear inflammation until I can get her to a vet next week?

My younger dog, Stella, who is almost 3 years old, recently had another round of diarrhea. She has no other symptoms except panting a little before it happens. Her appetite has not changed, and she eats fast. Her stool is liquid today, and it's hard to identify due to recent rain. She sometimes eats leaves along the fence, but it has never bothered her before. We are currently strapped for money and cannot afford an expensive vet visit. What can I do to help Stella?

My dog, Jesse, is lethargic, clingy, belching a lot, panting, and has a slightly congested nose. This started in the last couple hours. He ate dinner an hour ago and there's been no change in stool. He's been pre-ulcer for a couple of years and is on a specific diet. Could he have eaten something unusual, and what should I do?

My dog Rudy, aged 6, suddenly started licking the floor frantically and coughing. He seems to be breathing okay, but this behavior just started overnight. He also licks the air and makes random gurgling noises. What could be causing this and what should I do?
