My son passed away and left his dog Hank, who is 16 years old, in my care. His teeth are very bad, and he appears to be swollen under his eye, possibly due to an infection. I do not have much money and have never owned a dog before. Do I need to give him an antibiotic?

My dog has been taking Cephalexin for a gum infection for two weeks. Is the effect of this antibiotic only temporary, and should the infection be over after two weeks? She's nearing 16 years old, and I don't feel comfortable with her having dental work done. Is the healing with Cephalexin only temporary?

How much exercise should a full-grown female Siberian Husky named Harley get daily, considering we live in a hot and humid climate with limited outdoor space, and what type of collar would you recommend to prevent her from pulling during walks, given her tendency to walk into busy streets?
