Hi, I think my dog might have had a stroke. His eyes seem normal, but he lost his balance and his left side was really weak for about 10 minutes. He last saw a vet about 3 months ago and is not taking any medications. His name is Red, he is 6 years old, and he has seizures and is a little overweight due to a spider bite on his rear leg joint. Is there anything else the vet should know?

My dog may have ingested one or two zinc gluconicum tablets. Is this poisonous to dogs, and what should I do if she hasn't vomited yet? She weighs 15 pounds.

My 14-year-old dog, Beefcake, has a swollen paw after being wrapped. The nail became embedded into the paw due to the wrap. The paw was wrapped to prevent scratching, but now it's unwrapped and an e-collar is in place. The paw has been swollen for about 30-36 hours since the wrap was removed. He isn't using the paw and has difficulty maintaining balance. What should I do?

I have a 10-week-old Blue Pit Bull Terrier puppy that has eaten some rat poison (EPA Reg No 12***-***-****) about 3 hours ago. There are no symptoms yet, but I think the puppy ate about a teaspoon of it. What should I do?

My 6-week-old puppy, Bandit, has been sneezing and mucus is coming out. The sneezing started about a week ago, and he seems congested at times. He is eating and drinking normally, but he hasn't started his vaccinations yet. What should I do?

My chihuahua, Babygirl, is showing signs of paralysis in her back legs, which started two days ago. She recently had an ear infection and was treated with antibiotics. She fell from the bed but doesn't yelp when I touch her legs. Can heartworms attacking the spine be related to her paralysis, and can she be treated?
