My dog's ear flap is swollen. I noticed it on Saturday night and called his vet. I could not get an appointment until tomorrow at 2:15. I believe he has an aural hematoma. Can I wait another day until he sees the vet or should I take him immediately to the emergency vet clinic? The clinic is 1 hour away. He looks miserable. He is not licking the swelling but puts his paw up to his ear like he is trying to scratch and shakes his head a lot. His name is Ike, he is a rescue and probably about 11 or 12 years old. I have never seen this problem with him before.

I accidentally used contact cleaning solution on my 9-month-old puppy. He's in pain and his eye is swollen. What should I do to help him until he can see a vet tomorrow?

Last night I noticed a mark on my dog’s face and today it looks much more noticeable. He stuck his face in some bushes yesterday on a walk because he heard/saw something move. I’m not sure if he got scratched by a critter or a branch but I’m wondering, should I take him in to urgent care or does it look like something that is just going to heal on its own?

My dog, Ella, a 4-year-old French Bulldog, has had a clear vaginal discharge for the first time today. She was spayed about 2 years ago and has not seen a vet recently. What could this discharge indicate and what should I do?

My Chihuahua, Nutmeg, ingested a small amount of marijuana about 20 minutes ago and has since vomited and become sleepy. What should I do to help her and what are the potential effects of marijuana ingestion in dogs?

My 5-year-old Cane Corso, Dutchess, has recently started experiencing loss of bladder control, which has worsened over the past few days. She has had several accidents while lying in bed and has been eating regularly, though she is a picky eater. She might have eaten a stick from the backyard, but her puppy is fine. What could be causing this and what should I do?
