My 5-pound Chihuahua named Moe, who is 8 years and 1 month old, has had a red eye and puffiness for over a week. I've tried saline drops, Benadryl, and he doesn't seem to be getting better. I'm concerned he might have contracted conjunctivitis from my grandchildren who had it. I'm on disability and can't afford the vet fees right now. What home remedies or financial assistance options are available to help treat my dog?

My 13-year-old cocker spaniel, Nico, had surgery to remove a small subcutaneous MCT. He is currently taking Pepcid and Benedryl twice a day. Should I switch him to a low-carb, no-grain diet, or do you have any other recommendations?

My 2-month-old husky puppy chewed on an almost empty pack of First Strike soft bait rat poison with difethialone (25 ppm) three hours ago. She may have ingested some poison, but I'm not sure. What should I do to ensure her safety and should I continue giving her vitamin K if she shows no symptoms after a week?
