My dog has allergies. Her skin on her back gets flaky and very itchy, she chews the hair off and sometimes the hair falls out. Under her neck, it gets very red at times and also has some hair loss at times. Her ears also get sore and itchy. She took an antibiotic called Bactrim DS that contains Sulphur, which helped temporarily. Is it the sulphur that helped, and is there something OTC I can get that contains it? I have tried giving her Benadryl and other antihistamines, but they donโ€™t do anything.

My dog has diarrhea, won't stop drinking an abundant amount of water, won't eat his food, and has stopped peeing. His energy level is medium, but usually higher. His stool is very watery and yellowish. His belly is a little swollen, possibly from the large amount of water he's been consuming. What should I do to help my dog, and should I be concerned about his excessive water intake and the relationship between his water intake and GI issues?
