We have a 3-year-old puggle who has had low energy for about a week. He doesn't jump on furniture, seems bothered by standing on his hind legs, sleeps a lot in his open cage, but has a good appetite and goes to the bathroom normally. What could this be?

My small puppy, who weighs 7 lbs, accidentally got a 32 mg phenobarbital pill. Should I be concerned, and what should I do?

I have two dogs, a 5-year-old ***** ***** (female) and a 3-year-old Yorkie (male), living in a non-pet-friendly complex in Johannesburg, South Africa. My neighbor has complained about their barking when we're not home. The dogs bark when people arrive, but they stop when told. What can I do to manage their barking when I'm not home, and what are my constitutional rights regarding their barking?

My vet diagnosed my dog with ear mites and used Acarexx in his ears. I've read that Acarexx is only for cats. Is this going to work for my dog and how long does the treatment usually take to kill the mites completely?

My dog, Bear, an Anatolian Shepherd about 150 lbs and approximately 10 years old, just had a seizure where he dropped over at the top of the stairs, had convulsions, and wet himself. The episode lasted less than a minute and he improved as soon as I reached him. He appears OK now but is not quite himself, getting up slowly and laying back down when called. Do I have an emergency on my hands, or should I contact his vet when it opens or wait and see?
