How you get a urinary infection?
There are a couple of ways to get one. The major one is from having sex. Bacteria from around the anus can get pushed up into the urinary tract and cause an infection. Always peeing before and especially after sex is very important for every female to do. You should pee before sex because if any urine gets pushed back up into the bladder that can cause an infection as well. Another way is, once again, from the anus. Some obese women can get them because they can't wash that area very well so bacteria from the rectum can come into contact with the urethra. Also, not going pee when you first feel the urge and holding it in can cause one as well. Males can also get them but it is not as common.

What causes crust on your outer ear lobe?
Dermatological diagnosis is one of the most rigorous sciences, even if I could see the area. So, while I cannot tell you what it is, I can give you an idea of how to treat it. Gently wash the area with a clean washcloth, warm water and a mild soap. This should remove the crust. If it doesn't, don't fight it. Make sure the washcloth is laundered before anyone else touchs it (we don't know if this is contagious -- I think it's not likely but better to be safe). Then apply betadyne with a Q-tip. Betadyne is dark orange and smells like iodine, but it works great. You can also mix betadyne and 25% hydrogen peroxide(3%) and swab that on. Leave it there to dry. If anything you try makes it worse -- STOP. This should show an improvement in one day. If it doesn't show some improvement in 2 days, conisder going to a doctor. Note that advice from a well meaning guy on the Internet should never be confused with real medical advice from a professional.
What causes pus to come out of the ear?
Pus coming out of the ears could be a sign that the eardrum has ruptured due to extreme pressure from an infection, usually from an infection called otitis media, or inflammation/infection of the middle ear. Continued infection could permanently damage hearing due to tissue destruction and/or scarring. The best thing to do is to have a health professional evaluate and see if antibiotics or ear drops, or both, are needed to help it heal properly.
Other infections of the ear canal can create drainage, and need to be treated before they spread. The ear is an easy place to get an infection called cellulitis, so it shouldn't be ignored, either.
There was speculation that it may have started at an American owned pig farm in Mexico, a Smithfield Foods facility. However, the following article states that Mexico's Agriculture Department has proven it was not the original location:
Press Release from the National Pork Producers Council:
"Washington, May 14, 2009 -
Mexico's agriculture department today said the influenza strain that now has infected almost 4,300 people in 33 countries did not originate from hogs at a Smithfield Foods operation that had been singled out by some, including critics of modern pork production, as the source of the A-H1N1 flu virus.
Test results released today by the Mexican Ministry of Agriculture, Ranching, Rural Development, Fisheries and Food (SAGARPA) confirmed that the novel A-H1N1 virus was not in pigs at the Granjas Carroll de México farm in Veracruz. The pigs also tested negative for other viruses. "
The generic virus itself is not new-swine flu caused a brief panic in 1976 when it appeared in a U.S. army base and sickened many of the soldiers stationed there. Ironically the biggest fallout from that incident of swine flu came from the vaccine that President Gerald Ford urged citizens to get: only one person died from the actual flu while twenty-five died and five-hundred took sick from the vaccine. To further complicate our understanding of where this virus came from, researchers are now saying that "swine" flu isn't even the correct description of what this current one is, since this virus is made up from a mix of porcine, avian and human flu strains. Swine flu, in it's purely "piggy" form, is actually found in pigs worldwide, literally in every country. The World Animal Health organization is recommending the virus be renamed to "North-American influenza" to reflect its presumed origins. It is being called "Influenza A, Novel H1N1 (formerly Swine Flu)" by CDC and WHO and most of the world nations' ministries of health now.
For this particular incarnation of swine flu to transfer to humans would have taken a fairly complicated series of events. A pig with swine flu would have had to come into contact with a human with "human" flu and then the two viruses would have had to hybridize in the pig. Eventually a new strain of flu would be created that could be caught by humans, and would perhaps be carried back to humans via flies.
For a more scientific or medical explanation to answer the question, see the related answer below about the cause of the 2009 "Swine Flu" H1N1 Virus.

You should take a child to the doctor if you suspect they have any kind of infection - different antibiotics treat different types of infections and what you believe to be an ear infection could be an entirely different infection that may be causing their ear to hurt - then you would be giving the child amoxicillin unnecessarily which could cause him to develop an immunity to that antibiotic and he will need a stronger antibiotic in the future for an infection that could have been treated with amoxicillin. And if he does have an ear infection for real, the doctor will know exactly what dose and strength is needed since there are also many different strengths of that antibiotic.

Rabbits that have floopy ears are naturally born that way.

How do you treat persistent bacterial and year ear infection in pug dog?
Find a holistic vet. May be from poor food quality, environment surrounded by toxins i.e., floor cleaners, Carpet Fresh, chemical filled treats and toys. Imbalances in the body usually start from the inside due to poor nutrition, plastic feed bowls(use stainless) and crappy water- city water. Dogs, like people need good nutrition, healthy exercise, stress releases and pure water. Quite often good vitamins and supplements can offset the damages from the poor quality foods and water. Feed raw or research making quality home cooked food for the dog. Most cheap dry foods do more damage than good.
