My dog, Jasper, has an ear infection. He had the same bacterial infection last year and was treated with cefpodoxime 100mg and mometamax 15g, which cleared it up. What treatment options are available for his current ear infection?

My short-haired Border Collie, Djinda, has developed a dull and brittle coat, and she rubs against the fence during walks, causing bare patches on her chest and tail. She also has less stamina than my other dogs. What could be causing this, and what should I do?

My spayed dachshund, Ellie, who is about 20 lbs and 11 years old, has started physically twitching in her abdomen today. She had diarrhea a week ago but responded well to antibiotics and is now back to normal stool and urination. She doesn't seem to be in pain, but she has stopped jumping up steps and is now going up them front legs first, then back legs. What could be causing the twitching and should I be concerned?

Lola has cancer in her back left leg and needs amputation. She has been limping since November 2018 and was recently diagnosed. X-rays showed a slightly enlarged liver, but blood work was normal. Parts of her leg bone are missing, and a tumor is growing. I read that bone cancer is aggressive and usually metastasizes within 2 months. Is this true? Also, I read that if the leg is amputated and chemotherapy is done, she might live for a year. Is this true? If chemotherapy is not done, she might live for 2-3 months. Is this true? I'm trying to make the best decision for her.

I have a 12-year-old schnauzer. I fed her at 4:30 pm but forgot to give her the evening dose of insulin. I gave it to her at 7:00 pm. Should I be worried?
