My 8-year-old dog, Shelly, has a red, inflamed ear, is shaking her head, and rubbing it with her foot. She also has a rash and a lump on her leg. What could be causing these issues and what should I do?

My dog ate gum with a sugar substitute, Xylitol, about 3 to 4 hours ago. He immediately vomited it back up and is not showing any other signs of illness. Should I be worried?

We just got home from vacation and noticed our 20-week-old puppy, Barley, is very skinny, has been vomiting in his crate, and is filthy. He had a bath, but his temperament is very depressed, he's not eating, and he has had purple-ish liquid diarrhea. He has zero energy, cries when I leave the room, and doesn't interact with his dog siblings. What could be wrong and what should we do?

On 7/23, I took my teacup puppy, Lil 1, to an emergency pet hospital because her eyes had mucus and her fur was falling out. The vet said she was negative for parvo but was being stabilized with fluids and an eye stain. After being charged $175 + $99.99, she came home appearing worse, unable to stand, with lice, and refusing to eat. I returned her to the hospital, where they asked for $500 to continue treatment. After my credit card was processed, they said the $500 was for stabilization. The vet prescribed medications and said she was on fluids and ate well, but she was still wobbly and slightly better. They charged $236 for the meds but not for consultations. The vet believes she has parasites and possibly a tapeworm. I feel they should do more treatments for the $500, but they are sending her home with just meds. How do I know if they are treating her properly, and why haven't I received a clear diagnosis?
