My dog, Hitler, has a pocket of fluid building up in the lob of his ear, but it does not appear to be in the canal. Possibly a bug bite of some sort. What can I do to release the fluid? I have been putting warm compresses on it. The dog has never been to a vet and I am concerned about finding a vet who will see him and how expensive the procedure might be.

My dog, Charlie, a 4-year-old, 6-7lb dog, ingested an overdose of Simparica, 3 tablets meant for dogs weighing 11.2-22lbs. She has not vomited and is currently resting. Should I take her to a vet immediately or wait? What symptoms should I look out for?

My dog, a 2-year-old Lab mix weighing 47lbs, got into my trash and ate a raw beef steak with jalapeño ranch dressing, granola bars, salsa, and sour cream. She has had diarrhea since, is very cuddly and tired, and hasn't eaten or drunk anything since. Should I be worried, and what should I do?

My dog licked my finger that had a substance with xylitol in it. It wasn’t that much, but should I be concerned? The dog is a 75lb wired hair pointing griffon named Dublin, who will be 2 years old this month. She hasn't thrown up since this happened.

My dog may have eaten one 500 mg of Tylenol. Is it toxic and harmful? My dog is a 25-pound Boston Terrier, 13 years old, with a fat lump and cataract. He also takes anxiety medication. He ingested the Tylenol about 45 minutes ago and seems fine.
