I have a 5-month-old Chihuahua named Scrappy. I noticed a white mark in his eye that has grown larger since I got him. He sometimes squints but shows no discharge or rubbing of the eye. What could this white mark be and what should I do?

My chocolate lab/retriever mix, Rylie, has had kennel cough since June 1st and is on two antibiotics (Doxycycline and Amoxicillin). Can she be outside with one other dog, considering I'm a human nurse and understand that once on antibiotics, one is usually not contagious?

My dog's left ear is bothering him. He keeps shaking his head and scratching at his ear, which seems swollen on the inside. I clean his ear regularly, but it remains waxy. Can I give him children's Benadryl, and is there anything else I should do to help him?

One of our dogs may have chewed on an ant trap containing borax. The dogs weigh 15lbs and 42lbs, and they are 6 months and 8 months old, respectively. They are acting normally now, with no signs of vomiting or diarrhea. Is borax toxic to dogs, and should we be concerned?
