My 5-month-old puppy, Nala, suddenly developed swelling in her upper left eyelid around 8:30pm, which spread to both eyes, her upper lip, and snout by 1:30am. She has not been licking the swelling but has occasionally pawed at her eyes. I gave her a Benadryl pill at 10:00pm. What could be causing this and what should I do?

My mixed corgi, Australian Shepherd, and dachshund, Sky, is coughing and vomiting liquidy phlegm. She also has stomach jerks like hiccups. She drank muddy water at the dog park yesterday and may have eaten something unusual. She is not eating or drinking at this time. What should I do?

My 16-month-old dog, Brutus, has been diagnosed with an inner ear infection. He was previously given tetracycline about two months ago. Currently, he is shaking his head, pawing at his ears, and whining until his ears are rubbed. His ears also have a slight odor. What medication can be used to treat this ear infection without needing a prescription?

My 1-year-old Labrador, Sadie, weighing about 65-70 pounds, ate about 3/4 to 1 pound of chocolate and caramel candy about 2 hours ago. She has not vomited and is currently nursing puppies. Should I separate the puppies, and what should I do to ensure Sadie's health?

My dog, Molly, is throwing up, unable to get comfortable, and has been licking her feet until they bleed for almost 3 weeks. She also scratches her face and body, causing open sores, and breaks out in red bumps on her tummy, leading to scaley bumps. She has been wearing a dog cone for a week to stop her from licking and scratching. What could be wrong with her, and what should I do?
