How often does a dog (chihuahua) need to have teeth cleaned?

My dog, Layla, who is almost 6 years old, started shaking her head last evening. Her ears seem to bother her, and she won't let me clean them out. No other symptoms like coughing, limping, or drooling are present. What could be causing this and what should I do?

My 2.5-year-old pug, BitBit, has been itching, biting, and scratching her feet and ears, causing sores. She has been doing this for about a week. Her ears and paws are red, and she has been licking and biting the affected areas. There have been no changes in her diet or environment, except for the stress of an upcoming move. Could this be related to allergies, possibly from grass or pecans, or is it stress-related?

My 50-pound, 3-year-old Australian Shepherd named Sid was accidentally given two Zyrtec D pills 13 hours ago. He seems a bit agitated and can't get comfortable. What should I do, and what are the potential effects of this medication on him?

My two-year-old pit mix dog, Olive, has had a rash on her belly for a few weeks now, and nothing seems to be working to get it to go away. She occasionally licks her belly and scoots it across the carpet. What could be causing the rash, and what should I do to treat it?
