Hi Doctor, I hope this finds you safe and well. Since my last consult on JustAnswer regarding Louie’s ear infection, I was able to pick up a few treatments from my local vet: Trizedta Crystals Ear Flush, Dermotic Ear and Skin Suspension, and Zymox Otic Enzymatic Solution with Hydrocortisone 1%. After two weeks of applying the crystal flush and dermotic suspension, there was a visible improvement in Louie’s left ear, but a buildup of earwax remained. Following the completion of the course of dermotic, we have been applying the Hydrocortisone twice weekly, but today I caught him scratching his ear until he cried out in pain. The irritation and infection seem to only start and/or get considerably worse when we are staying at my partner’s home. At my own apartment, he does not seem to have issues. May I get your recommendation on how to help little Louie and is there a chance we could pinpoint the source of the issue and curtail it?

I accidentally glued my dog's eye with superglue. The vet asked for a case number, but I was told to contact JustAnswer for further instructions. What should I do next?

My dog, Ace, a 9-month-old 50-pound dog, just ate 2 raw pork chops 15 minutes ago. He has not vomited and is currently fine. Are there any concerns or actions I should take?

Our 50-pound border collie, Ellie, ate three boneless pork chops 9 days ago. We followed Just Answer vet's advice for a bland diet/observation. She's been playing, eating, drinking, everything normal ever since day one (no vomiting or blood in stool ever) BUT she's only pooped about 4 or 5 times in 9 days (usually she's twice a day) -- any thoughts?

What is the cost of a question on JustAnswer, and what advice can be provided for a dog named Lhotse, a 4-year-old teacup Chihuahua, who has a discoloration and skin rash on his tummy, is overweight due to reduced walks during COVID, and has dry and flaky skin?

Hi Dr. This is Jan. You just answered my question about my BIS stud dog. I need to ask some more questions. I do have an in-season bitch in the same room as him. It has never been an issue before as he is a pretty seasoned stud dog. Would this irritate the situation? Should I separate them? I heard that sometimes it can be from an hormone imbalance? He is current on his brucellosis tests. As I get his semen frozen and test him when I do so. Should I insist on an ultrasound and or x-ray as well? He is on a very strong form of Amoxicillin. Is there anything else I can do to help relieve the swelling? When should he see some results from the antibiotic if it is just an infection?

My dog, Pepper, age 5, has a suspected UTI with symptoms similar to a previous UTI. I noticed these symptoms about 3 days ago, possibly up to a week. I was wondering if there's a way to get a prescription approved on Chewy through a vet on JustAnswer.

What is a great handbook or online resource for dog and cat first-aid, and how does Just Answer confirm the credentials of its professionals?
