My 14-year-old Chihuahua inhaled a spear grass two years ago, which was removed through nasal scope. Since then, he has had persistent nasal issues, including inflammation and difficulty breathing, especially at night. Recent scopes have found no foreign bodies but have identified inflamed tissue, and there are concerns about a possible tumor, fungus, or remaining spear grass fragment. The vet has suggested an MRI, but I'm looking for alternative treatments or medications, especially anti-fungal ones, to help manage his condition. Can you provide any suggestions or guidance?

Our standard poodle puppy, Cooper, has been drooling heavily today. He is active and playful, but he swallowed a small pebble three days ago. Should we take him to the vet for X-rays to check for a blockage? He has eaten and had plenty of water today and had a bowel movement this morning.

My dog, Shady, has pink eye and I was wondering how I can get her treated. She is 2 years old and has had the condition for about 3 days. I have spoken with her vet, but the earliest appointment is next Friday. She has no medical conditions and takes no medications. What can I do at home to help her until then?
