I have a dog named Lyla, estimated to be 9 years old, who has been experiencing diarrhea for about a month, morning vomiting (just bile), and a possible partial ACL tear. She has been on a diet of rice and boiled chicken and is currently taking omeprazole and Rimadyl. What else can I feed her to stop the diarrhea and manage her condition before her surgery consult?

My 8-month-old Golden Retriever's right eye is red and she doesn't want to open it. This morning, she had a runny nose and was napping a lot. After lunch, I noticed her squinting both eyes, but the left eye is red, swollen, and she often closes it. This has happened before, and we stopped going to puppy day camp, which seemed to help. What could be causing this, and what should I do?

My dog, Yeti (4 years old), is scratching his ear, crying, and rubbing his face into the couch. I gave him Benedryl a few times, which helped for a day, but the issue returned. Now he won't let me touch his ear and cries when I try. Is there anything else I should do?
