My 3-month-old German Shepherd, Judge, has symptoms of vestibular disease. He can't walk without falling, but shows no pain, vomiting, or diarrhea. His eyes are not darting, and his gaze seems normal. He is still very active and attempts to play. We suspect he may have ingested pool water containing algae a week ago. What can I do in the meantime until he can be seen by a vet?

My 11-year-old Labrador Retriever named Scooby has a mass on his right side of his body, about the size of a dollar coin, which I first noticed about 2 weeks ago. He has recently started licking the area. What should I do about this mass?

Our dog, a 1-year-old Australian labradoodle, has a red, hot ear with a cheesy smell, a declining appetite, and appears more tired than usual. The ear has been a problem for about 3 days, and he hasn't eaten at all today. We are currently traveling and need advice on how to handle this situation.

I bought a Pomeranian puppy from a breeder in a neighboring country, and she has caught COVID and will be staying there for another 2 weeks. Will I have to isolate her when she arrives at my house, and should I be concerned about transmitting COVID to my other dog or myself?

My 7-month-old dog, Minnie, ate a big bite of dark chocolate cake about 2 hours ago. She is now shaking, acting aggressively, and has bad balance. None of the vets in my area take emergency walk-ins. What should I do?

My dog, Bigsby (7 months old, 50 pounds), may have ingested 1 or 2 ml of perfume about an hour ago. He hasn't vomited yet. What should I watch for and what steps should I take?
