My dog, Kona, a 4-year-old, has had diarrhea for 2 days. She has not eaten anything unusual, and she is otherwise acting normally. We switched her to a boiled chicken and rice diet, but there has been no improvement. What can we do to help her, and should we wait until her vet appointment on Monday?

We went to the vet and they prescribed an antibiotic, a mousse, and an antifungal treatment for our dog. We started the treatment yesterday, but the area is still raw and bleeding in spots. Should we continue applying the mousse once a day and taking the antibiotic, and will it dry up soon? Additionally, the mousse is very sensitive and difficult to massage in. Is there anything else we should do, like using a hydrocortisone ointment or a Zymox spray?

My dog Harry, who is 12 years old and has a history of airborne allergies and anxiety, has had a sore eye with discharge for over a week. I have tried salt water washes and warm compresses, but the issue persists. The eye is red, and there is some hair loss around it, particularly on one side. What could be causing this, and what steps should I take to address it?
