My cat was diagnosed with gingivitis 6 months ago and 3 teeth were removed. The vet also scaled and cleaned her teeth. Even if her teeth receive regular cleaning by the vet annually, can gingivitis still come back?

My hamster has a lump on her chest! Should I be worried? I recently saw that my golden hamster has a lump on the inside of her chest. She is acting perfectly normal, and isn’t showing any signs that she’s in pain. Also, she’s not losing any hair, but the lump is a fairly good size for such a small animal. Please help! – Annie

There is a hard crusty brown substance that comes out from my cats ear when she sleeps. Plus, it sometimes sounds like she has water in her ear when she shakes her head. She doesn’t seem to be in any pain though. What could it be? and what should I do? — Rina

My 5 1/2 month old toy poodle has diarrhea (it has mild, almost no blood in it) and she is throwing up. She was fine this morning then she started vomiting a faded mustard like substance. We just got her and she does not have her shots yet. She doesn’t seem sick at all, she still seems very eccentric as always. My grandma gave her something to eat and soon after that she threw it up. Please help! — Eli
