My Lagotto, Baxter, has a severe case of Pseudomonas aeruginosa. The Vet has been treating it with Amikacin every two weeks for about 6 weeks, but the smell and scratching return each time. I've read that he might need a combination of topical and oral meds, possibly polymyxin B topical with marbofloxacin oral. Additionally, I've read that the ear infection could be the result of an allergy. Should I see a Vet dermatologist? The Vet also mentioned possible treatment with Imipenem, but I have read that such treatment may not be advisable. What should I do?

My dog, Sam, was bitten by the neighbor's dog in his ear. He has a decent cut on the outside of his ear and a scrape on the inside. He is not bleeding a lot, and I have cleaned it with water. What should I do for his ear injury?

Hello, my 10-month-old male Chihuahua named Max has developed bumps on his back and side. The hair around each bump is matted, and some spots are oozing pus. He recently finished a round of painkillers for an injury to his back leg. What could be causing these bumps and what should I do?

Could a pre-existing canine sarcoma (spindle cell in this case) be stimulated by needle injection/biopsy, given that the tumor, which was stable for over three years and the size of a cherry at the time of biopsy, increased fivefold in size within 4 1/2 months post-biopsy, approaching the size of a baseball?
