My puppy is 15 weeks old and received a second vaccine today. The vet said she is fully vaccinated and can go outside, but I read that puppies need at least three vaccines before going outside. Could you clarify this?

My dog, a 10-year-old corgi mix weighing 33 lbs, ate a piece of select-a-size paper towel about 7 minutes ago. He has not vomited yet and appears to have chewed it up. He occasionally eats toilet paper and has eaten tampons in the past. Should I be concerned, and what should I do?

My dog, Jess, a 6-year-old, often gets ear infections, usually yeast infections. She has been treated with various medications like eardrops, prednisone, and shampoo, but the infections persist. She doesn't like having her ears flushed and yelps when the nozzle is inserted. I've changed her diet to raw, which has helped with itching. What other medications or advice can you provide to stop these recurring yeast infections?
