I'm switching between the orange save a chick and the powdered rooster booster, I read the back and nothing stood out as dangerous to my fur babies, but feather babies have different needs so I began to doubt myself

My pair of dogs get ear infections pretty darn often. I'm almost certain it's something in the house, as I've switched foods multiple times and the best one we've found cleared up everything but their icky ears. While I'm trying to figure out and put a stop to the source of this, I've been...

If you can hold her still enough, do some (gentle!!) prodding to see where it's actually hurt. I'd wrap it well and/or loosely spilt it, and if you can get access to liquid pain medicine give her a few doses and see if she puts a little weight on it again. If none of that's available then just...
