My 8-year-old small Papillon mix dog, Dio, has an ear infection. It smells and he keeps itching at it. He has had pancreatitis before and has a sensitive tummy. He eats Farmer's Dog food. What over-the-counter options can we use to treat the ear infection without a vet visit?

My 70lb dog, Georgie, a Bernedoodle almost 8 months old, ate a brand new bottle of children's Motrin containing 120mL of 100mg per 5mL concentration. The bottle is empty, and I don't know how much he ate versus spilled out as he chewed the bottle. He has not thrown up, and it was in the last 2.5 hours. What should I do, and what signs should I look for regarding potential toxicity or damage?

I have a ball python named Pedro who is 1 1/2 years old. He occasionally wheezes, hasn't eaten in 4 months, but is still active and drinks water. He has a noticeable bump on his nose, which we think might be related to an injury from trying to grab a rat and hitting the glass tank. Should I be concerned, and what steps should I take?

My 3-year-old mixed poodle, Guinness, was vomiting on Monday and received IV fluids and medication. He seemed fine yesterday but today he refused to eat, is shivering, and has no energy. He doesn't seem to be in pain, but he has a GI issue. His X-ray exam on Monday showed normal results, but his blood test results indicated low protein levels. What should I do to help him, and does he need to fast before an ultrasound?

My pet, a 20 lb dog, might have swallowed or eaten paint. There is paint on his mouth, ear, and paws, but I'm unsure if he actually ingested it. What should I do?
