My partner and I recently recorded a video of our dog Mark (a 1.5-year-old pit bull) for a dog trainer. The trainer said his gait was wonky and suggested it might be something called medical circumduction. Is there a way to send the video to you to check out? The image attachment link only seems to work with still photos. Is this something we need to get looked at immediately?

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?
