What can I do? Mix 1 quart of hydrogen peroxide, 1/4 cup of baking soda, 1 tablespoon of "DAWN" dish soap. Put this mixture on your dry dog and leave on for 10 minutes. Then rinse off. This can be repeated as needed. Be careful not to get into your pet's eyes. My Dog has diarrhea! HELP! Withhold all food for 24 hours. Give normal amounts of water. Kaopectate can be given at 1 tablespoon for each 30 pounds of weight. Can I give my dog or cat aspirin, tylenol, or ibuprofen? You can safely give aspirin to your dog. Do NOT use Tylenol or Ibuprofen without contacting a veterinarian. Cats can NOT take ANY of these medications. I am on a fixed income and have a six year old cat. I love her very much. She is needing medication and special food for a skin condition. I am doing all I can to keep a roof over our heads. I don't want to give her away or have her put down. Do you have any suggestions about how I can afford health care for her? Thank you! Owning and caring for a pet takes time and money. Budget wisely and do the best you can.
