Is it safe to give my dog, Noel, who is approximately 10 years old and weighs between 8 and 10 pounds, dye-free, alcohol-free, and sugar-free bubble gum flavored children’s Benadryl for an allergic reaction to Science Diet wet food? She has a swollen face but her breathing is fine, and the only active ingredient in the Benadryl is diphenhydramine. Should I avoid giving her the new wet food and is there anything else I can do to help with her swelling and dental health?

My 4-month-old French Bulldog puppy didn't eat breakfast or lunch, has had diarrhea once, and ate a small bit after I texted you. He gets raw hamburger, dry puppy chow, and sardines from the breeder, and he sometimes eats grass. His stool is usually loose but not always diarrhea. What should I do?

My German Shepherd/Lab mix, Katie, who just turned one, became really scared of going outside for walks due to the sound of fireworks during the 4th of July week. For the past 6 weeks, she has been very resistant to going outside about 75% of the time. She puts her leash on fine but starts crying and trying to get back inside as soon as we get outside. We've tried treats and toys, but nothing seems to help. What can we do to help her overcome this fear?

My 20-pound dog ate a small amount of red onion, equivalent to half an onion ring, and I gave him a small amount of saltwater to induce vomiting. Should I be concerned about his health, and should I use hydrogen peroxide to induce vomiting instead?

My 8-year-old lab, Sonny, is drinking a lot more water than usual and has become lethargic over the past 3-4 weeks. He still has a good appetite and eats normally, but his energy levels are lower than usual. What could be causing this and what tests should be done to diagnose the issue?
