My bolognese dog, 15 lbs., 7 years old, has had diarrhea and been vomiting small amounts for 3 days. This morning he threw up jelly-like red blood, possibly from eating part of a pork spare rib about a week ago. He does not act sick at all. What should I do?

Our year-old pit bull just ate approximately 10 pieces of small, sugarless gum containing xylitol. What will happen to her and is there something we should do?

Hello, Dr. Peter. A friend accidentally gave my dog my allergy meds versus his usual Benadryl tablets. I'm concerned -- is fexofenadine ok for dogs, and at full strength (180mg)?

My 15-week-old puppy has had diarrhea for almost 3 weeks, diagnosed with canine coronavirus. He's on Hills I/D diet, Endosorb, and Imodium, but the diarrhea hasn't slowed much. He's playful and has a good appetite. Will this ever end, and what additional steps should I take?

My dog has two cherry eyes, and one of them has changed color and has a film covering it. What can I do until I can afford to take him to a vet?

My dog had a tumor removed, but more tumors came back and are bleeding. I took her back to the vet, who diagnosed her with cancer and prescribed antibiotics. The tumors seemed to go away but then returned. I heard Benadryl can help with itching. How much Benadryl should I give my 40-pound dog, and how do I stop the bleeding from these tumors?
