My dog, Finn, a 3-year-old, has been licking his anal area and I noticed a small hole with pus. He has been pooping normally and eating well. I think his anal gland may have ruptured. What should I do?

My dog, Eddie, a 10.5-year-old poodle chihuahua mix, has had most of his teeth pulled, bad breath, an infection, lethargy for 3 days, and decreased appetite. What could be causing these issues and what should I do?

My dog just had a 4-minute episode where his whole body was shaking, almost vibrating, which happened in cycles of a few seconds on and off. A few days before I adopted him, he had several seizures and started taking medication, which has been working. I'm trying to figure out if this was a seizure or something else to be concerned about. He wandered off and crawled into my lap before the episode started, and he seemed a little disoriented afterward but didn't lose consciousness, urinate, or defecate. He has a vet visit scheduled a week from today, but I'm unsure if that's soon enough.

My mom won't take the dog, Roxy, who is about 7 years old, in for treatment. Roxy has had an ear infection for over 3 years and now her ear smells really bad. The dog yelps when barely touched. What can be done to help Roxy, and are there any financial assistance options available?

My 61 lb mixed breed dog, Bryson, who is approximately 11 years old, tripped and started limping on his right rear leg about 15 minutes ago. He didn't yelp or cry out in pain, and there is no swelling or heat. He has not seen a vet recently and is not on any medications. What should I do for him?
