My dog’s ears are always inflamed and loaded with foul odor wax. It’s very difficult to clean them because he seems so bothered. The problem’s been chronic for several years with no changes to diet. He’s also prone to pimple-like boils. What could be causing this and what can be done to help?

My dog, Ollie, a 7-year-old Malamute Golden mix, had his back shaved for surgery to remove cysts a week ago. I'm concerned about the effects of the sun on his back until his hair grows back. He goes for a lot of walks and likes to lie in the yard, which is now exposed to direct sunlight due to the leaves being off the trees. What can I do to protect his shaved back from the sun?

My two Akitas, Govy (6 months, 65 lbs) and Caty (5 months, 45 lbs), accidentally consumed half a pack of my CBD cigarettes containing 300 mg of CBD. Should I be worried, and what should I do?

My dog, Luke, who is 5-6 years old and has a messed up thyroid, suddenly started acting scared 10 minutes ago, which is unusual for him. I've tried giving him treats, playing, and taking him outside, but he just went back into his fearful state. What could be causing this sudden fear, and what should I do?

Our beagle, Ginny, was fine this morning but now has no energy, no appetite, is moaning, shaking, and snapping at the cat. She is also walking slowly and cried out when pressure was put on her low back. What could be causing these symptoms and should we take her to a 24-hour vet?

My 11-year-old dog, Rico, has never had an ear infection before. On Monday, I noticed a significant smelly discharge from his right ear. I cleaned it with hydrogen peroxide and Q-tips, and by Thursday, the discharge had reduced but was still pink and a bit swollen. Rico seems to be sleeping and going through his normal routines without discomfort. What should I do to address this issue?
