My 7-year-old Great Pyrenees, Duke, has a history of ear infections. He has been aggressive at the vet's office and requires sedation for treatment.

My dog, Ranger, a 17-month-old Yorkie, has had diarrhea for a few days, which is now slowing down but he is very hungry. The bowel movements are lighter in color. I started him on prebiotics and probiotics. What should I do to help him recover?
