My 5-month-old puppy, Jack Jack, got a small cut on his cheek a couple of days ago, and now it is swollen. The cut is not bleeding, and the temperature of the swollen area is the same as his other cheek. I cleaned it with hydrogen peroxide yesterday. What should I do, and are there any signs I should watch for to determine if it's getting better or worse?

My dog ate one ibuprofen tablet, 200 mg. The dog weighs 37 lbs and I gave her two capfuls of peroxide to try to make her vomit, but she hasn't vomited yet. The dog's name is Gemma, and she will be 7 years old on June 22. She is a mini goldendoodle and is generally healthy, not on any medications. What should I do?

My 13-year-old dog, Apollo, suddenly started dragging his back legs and can't walk. He doesn't seem to be in pain, but he is confused. He had some rear leg stiffness a month ago and was given gabapentin, which he reacted poorly to. What could be causing this and what should I do?

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?
