My dog, Wendy, a 6-month-old, has been experiencing a red, smelly, irritated ear for about 4 days. She keeps shaking her head and rubbing her ear on the floor or grass. Her ear also appears to be swollen. What can I do at home to help as I cannot currently afford to go to the vet?

My 13-year-old dog, Rocky, won't walk on his back legs. He has been diagnosed with arthritis, which has recently worsened. He was given 25mg of tramadol this morning, which provided some relief but has since worn off. What can be done to manage his pain and improve his mobility until he can be seen by a veterinarian?

My dog, Poppy, a nearly 4-year-old Jack Russell, has suddenly become sensitive to noise, doesn't want to go for walks, avoid head patting/touching, and appears to have vision loss on the left side. She was diagnosed with a positive ear infection and is on medication, but her behavior and vision issues persist. What could be causing these symptoms and what should I do?
