My 5-month-old puppy, Jack Jack, got a small cut on his cheek a couple of days ago, and now it is swollen.

My 9 1/2 week old puppy, Lucky Sport, has been throwing up foamy, white vomit for the past 3 hours. He was fine before a family walk, but started vomiting about an hour after returning. He has only eaten puppy food (Kibbles and Bits) since we got him a week ago. He has received his first set of shots, but is now acting tired and less active. Could he have parvo, and what can I do to help him?

My dog, Queen, has had ear yeast for about 3 weeks. She has been shaking her head, and I have been using Dr. Gold's ear therapy for 3 days. The ear has a smell, and she usually gets ear infections about twice a year. The vet charged me $400 last year for antibiotics for 2 weeks. Is there anything else I can do for her ear infection without going to the vet right now?
