We have a golden Labrador named Bailee who is 2 years old. She has been scratching more frequently over the past few days, and her ears are swollen. She has also been licking and scratching her thighs and going outside to rub her ears in the snow. What could be causing this and what should we do?

My 65-pound dog, Coupe, got a bottle of Visine and was chewing on it. He did poke a hole in the bottle but there was still quite a bit left, so I don't think he swallowed much. He ate it at 8:25 and has not thrown up. He seems totally fine. What should I do?

My pug, Lilly, has a few loose teeth, including her two bottom ones and one of her top front teeth, which have fallen out. I'm trying to determine if this is due to her chewing hard objects like bully sticks or if it could be periodontal disease. What could be causing this and what should I do?

My dog, Tenshi, had cataract surgery on November 17, 2020, and was diagnosed with a detached retina during a follow-up on December 31. We were referred to a specialist in Southern California for retinal reattachment surgery, which has a quoted cost of $7471.55. We have pet insurance but are concerned about the high cost. What is Tenshi's quality of life if we do not proceed with the surgery, and will she experience pain if she goes blind? Additionally, what are the implications and treatments for glaucoma, which Tenshi might develop?

My cockapoo is having trouble walking, laying down all day, and is hesitant to stand. She trembles and cries when carried up and downstairs. Her appetite has decreased, and she turned away from her food. She had a similar issue a few months ago that was treated as muscle tension. What could be causing her current symptoms and what should I do?
