My dog, a 7 1/2 year old Great Dane named Page, has been experiencing on-and-off ear infections for the past 2 months. She was prescribed medication by the vet, but I discontinued it due to concerns about potential deafness. The vet then recommended using vinegar and water, which I tried a couple of times. Recently, she started shaking her head and had a lot of wax in her ear, even after cleaning. There was also a bit of blood when I attempted to clean her ear last night, likely from scratching. What should I do next?

My 7 1/2-year-old Yorkie, Lola, has been coughing as if something is lodged in her throat for a week. She is able to breathe and drink water well, but she is tired and losing weight. She has been to the vet before for a similar issue and gets sick from the water due to algae. What could be causing her cough and what should I do?

I have an 11-month-old Doberman Belgian Shepherd mix named Apollo. He has been showing signs of ataxia, such as falling over while sitting, despite not being sleepy. This was first noticed tonight. His appetite and stool have not changed, and he has been on pain meds and anti-inflammatory meds for a leg issue. He recently went on new walks where he ate some mud. What could be causing his ataxia and what should I do?

My Chihuahua/Miniature Pinscher, Cassie, has been shaking her head and unable to keep her foot out of her ear for weeks. I've been applying otic medications but there's no relief, and she's suffering. What should I do?

Our labradoodle, Mac, is just shy of 6 months old and has an ear infection. He has been acting off for a few days, his ears are sore to touch, he’s been itching them, and there is a lot of brown discharge with a bad smell. We have not spoken to a vet yet, and we have another 4 weeks before we can get into our local veterinary. What should we do in the meantime?
