I have a six-year-old boxer whose face is swollen around her left eye and left muzzle. The swelling has spread to the inner part of her right eye within the past hour. She has redness in her eye and on her muzzle and under her jowls. I have given her 3 Benadryl about 45 minutes ago, but there has been no change. She is rubbing her muzzle on her front leg. We suspect she may have been stung by a wasp. What should we do now?

My five-year-old, spayed, up-to-date on shots, Golden Retriever mix recently switched from Heartguard to Trifexis due to suspected whipworm in the environment. She just had bright green diarrhea after eating a dentastix. She had pancreatitis three weeks ago and has been recovering well on Purina EN. What could be causing the green diarrhea, and should I continue with the Purina EN or switch to a more affordable, easy-to-digest food?

My dog has a sore on her paw due to dry skin cracking, and she is running a fever. I cleaned the sore and applied antibiotic ointment. Is this safe, and what can I give her for the fever since I can't make it to the vet right now?

I have an 8-year-old neutered male dog. Today, I noticed his penis is not retracting as it normally does. I'm concerned about the possibility of infection. Is there anything I can do for him?
