We have an 11-year-old red golden doodle, a rescue we've had since age 2. We were told that red and white doodles are more prone to allergies and sensitivities. Teddy started having ear infections at age 5, which led to discovering he was allergic to most medications. We tried changing his diet and saw improvements, but as seasons changed, we noticed new symptoms like black tar-like discharge in his ears, outside his nose and eyes. Teddy's demeanor and appetite remain good, but he has a consistent head tilt toward the affected ear. What advice can you provide for managing Teddy's condition and improving his quality of life?

My puppy, Kayce, ate a used tampon yesterday evening. She weighs at least 25 lbs and swallowed the whole thing. It's been about 12 hours since it happened. She has pooped twice and seems to be eating and drinking fine without any signs of bloating or soreness. What should I do to ensure she passes the tampon safely?
