Our dog, Wicket, a 13-year-old schnauzer mix, has been having diarrhea with blood, which is unusual for her. She hasn't vomited and seems her usual self but doesn't want to eat. We haven't changed her diet, but she sometimes gets into the trash. We have a vet appointment in 8 hours but are unsure if we should go to the emergency vet now. What should we do?

Can I use Neosporin on my dog’s wound? My dog, Jessie Boo, a Papillon weighing 19 lbs and aged 8 years, had an allergic reaction to shampoo and chewed his tail, causing cuts. I took him to the vet who prescribed Neo-Predef with Tetracaine powder, but he becomes very agitated after applying it. I thought Neosporin might be a better option.
