My dog, Beckett, a 7-year-old lab, has had a smelly black gunk in his ears for a couple of weeks. I've been cleaning his ears with an antifungal antimicrobial rinse, but he cries when I touch them. What can I use to clear it up?

My 4-month-old dog, Tango, has been making a huffing noise from his nose quite frequently for the past few days. I noticed another older dog in my home has been making the same noise. What could be causing this and what should I do?

My 9-year-old Maltese mix, weighing 20 pounds, has been diagnosed with lymphoma and has several lumps in nodes around her body. She has been on Prednisone and Omeprazole for 6 days. The lumps haven't gone down, and she seems to alternate between having energy and being lethargic. Is she in pain, and are the lumps supposed to decrease with the current medication? Should I consider increasing the dosage or seeking an oncologist for staging?

My dog has 4 marble-sized nodules above his rectum under his tail. He has been sitting and spinning on the carpet lately, and the nodules appear to be agitated or raw. What could these nodules be, and are they treatable or terminal?

My 8-month-old puppy ate parts of a yucca tree, which I believe is poisonous to dogs. The puppy vomited once yesterday and has stopped eating, becoming lethargic. The puppy was tested for cat flu and biliary, with negative results. What should I do?

My 2.5-year-old Great Dane, Penelope, is acting lethargic and wobbly since we got home at 5pm. She hasn't eaten since then, which isn't necessarily unusual for her. She was outside going potty at lunch and sometimes runs over to see the neighbors, but we asked and they didn't give her anything or see her eat anything. After lunch, she was locked in her kennel until we got home, and nothing seems out of the ordinary in there. She's also acting a little spooked, but she's scared of everything on a normal day, so I'm not sure if that has anything to do with it or not. What could be causing her symptoms and what should I do?
