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?

Our dog was started on Sporanox 100 mg bid for a fungal infection in the brain. After the second pill, he started crying out in pain every 20 minutes, with or without movement. Some side effects listed include low potassium, stomach, and muscle cramps. Could these symptoms be side effects of the medication? We haven't given him another pill.
