I have a 7-year-old beagle. This morning, his left eye started closing, and the lining at the bottom of the eye is covering it. His right eye is also affected but not as severely. I gave him half a Benadryl tablet, but he has been very slow-moving, hasn't eaten, and feels like he has a fever. Should I give him liquid children's Tylenol or possibly more Benadryl?

I have two dogs, Molly and Chase, who have been sneezing frequently for the past 2-3 days, with clear nasal discharge and yellow/green eye discharge in one dog. Both are up to date on vaccinations, and I gave them Benadryl for suspected allergies, but the symptoms continue. Should I take them to the emergency vet, or is this a 'wait and see' situation? Could this be allergies, a cold, flu, or infection?

My dog, Rusty, a 2-year-old miniature pinscher, has dry mud cakes around his nose and an orange or pinkish mucus-like film around his eyes. I noticed this issue about 3 days ago. I was able to clear away the mucus from his eyes but not the mud-like substance from his nose. He sounds stuffy. What could be causing this and what should I do?
