My dog, Skeeter, a 11-year-old yorkie/shitzu cross, had an ear infection a few months back and was treated with drops, which seemed to work. Recently, he has been whining when his ears are touched, shaking his head more than usual, and I haven't been able to get him to a vet as no one is accepting new patients. What should I do to help him until I can get him to a vet?

The symptoms you're describing suggest that Skeeter's ear infection might have recurred or not fully...

My dog, Chopper, a 1-year-old, is acting like a zombie. He isn't responding to his name, walking into things, and is very weak. He won't eat but will drink. He doesn't seem to be in pain. What could be wrong and what should I do?

My 8-month-old Pug, Ruby, ate part of a fairy light, including the green casing and part of the glass. She hasn't vomited and seems fine. What should I do?

My dog, Riley, a seven-year-old Catahoula Shellie mix, lost his vision suddenly in early summer, likely due to high blood pressure. He now also struggles with his sense of smell, gets confused in his home, and has cognitive issues. He takes amlodipine for his blood pressure, which was last checked three weeks ago at 170/120. What additional steps should be taken to address his condition and help him adjust to his vision loss?

My dog, Milo, a 1 1/2-year-old pit mix, has developed hives and is excessively licking and scratching. We gave him Benadryl, but the welts are getting more pronounced. Should we go to the vet ER, and what other steps can we take to help him?
