My dog, Zeus, a 6-year-old weighing 120 lbs, has an ear infection. It's red inside with no drainage and has been ongoing for only 1 day. I have already applied hydrocortisone cream to help with the itching. What should I do for treatment?

My Miniature Pinscher, Mya, was spayed and has been favoring her right hind leg since about 4 days after the surgery. She seems to have recovered normally except for this issue.

Could there be a connection between the spay surgery and her limping, and what should I do about it?

My 8-month-old dog, Ryder, has been limping on his right front paw for 3 days. He doesn't show signs of pain, remains energetic, and there's nothing unusual about his paw. We recently changed his puppy food to a different brand. What could be causing the limp and what should I do?

My 10-year-old Cocker Spaniel, Aubrey, has had bad breath since adoption over seven years ago. The smell is guttural and worse lately. She prefers soft food more now and has a weaker appetite. She also licks the air or her paws. Her gums are pink and not tender. What could be causing this and what can I do to help?
