My 16-year-old dog still eats and drinks regularly, is energetic at times, and can walk normally, but has slowed down significantly this year, is losing weight, has severe osteoarthritis, frequent seizures, periodontitis, hearing loss, and cataracts. Despite these issues, he still acts relatively normal. Is it time to consider euthanasia?

My Shih Tzu, Waylon, ate about 2 tablespoons of guacamole containing a small amount of onions. He's 12 pounds and ate about 1/4 teaspoon of onions. He hasn't vomited and it's been about an hour since he ate it. What should I do?

My dog ate a small Taro cake (the size of a brownie bite). Taro root is toxic to dogs, but the cake was processed. Is this amount concerning, and if so, what should I do? Additionally, should I give her probiotics to help prevent any issues with blood sugar or digestion?

My dog ate a whole zero-sugar yellow cake with zero-sugar chocolate fudge icing, minus one slice, within the last hour. He is a 3-year-old, 85 lbs dog named Atlas, on prescription ZD food. He has not vomited yet but usually throws up anything else he eats hours later. What should I do?

My dog has been shaking his head like Stevie Wonder and it freaks me out. He does it while his tail is wagging and he's aware, but this has happened 3 times in the past 24 hours. I'm worried it's a seizure or something like that.
