I recently lost my 10-year-old Walker Hound to paralysis in his front legs within 48 hours, suspected to be caused by a herniated disk, tumor, or stroke. My 95-year-old mother is deeply affected by this loss. I am considering adopting a Jindo from a Canadian shelter, but the dog has a bent ear. Is it possible to surgically repair the ear, and what are your thoughts on the breed and dogs from the Far East?

My Pug, Pepper, has had a drying out issue on her nose and chin for a few weeks. Her nose looks like it's closing, and I initially thought it was due to red ant bites. She is 2 years old and weighs 22 lbs. I have been washing her every night with oat and aloe Vera shampoo and applying olive oil. What should I do?

My dog, Pacsun, a 9-month-old weighing 62 lbs, is limping and doesn't want to put much pressure on her paw. She screamed when I touched it, and she played hard at the dog park yesterday. What should I do to help her?

My pet dog ate about 1/4 to 1/2 cup of rat poison from grain. She is a miniature healer weighing about 30 lbs. I gave her a tsp of hydrogen peroxide to induce vomiting, but she didn't vomit. What should I do next?

I think my dog ate a tiny amount of rat poison. The poison was in a box, and he bit down on it, causing some tiny crumbs to fall out. The dog has not vomited since ingesting the rat poison. What should I do, and are there any signs I should watch for?
