I have a 10½ year old neutered Great Dane who occasionally experiences sudden loss of control in his hind and front legs. He has had three such events, the last being on 12 April. The vet has prescribed Vivitonin, which has improved his activity level, but these events are still concerning. The dog recovers within 2-3 hours after each event. The vet has not witnessed these events and is unable to make a diagnosis. What could be causing these events, and what can I do to help during these episodes?

My dog, Henry, an 8-year-old Chihuahua, is breathing heavily and unable to move his legs. This has happened once before, and his legs seem paralyzed, similar to a seizure. What could be causing this, and what should I do?

My Great Dane, Stitch, ate raw Bisquick biscuits. I gave him 15ml of peroxide to induce vomiting, but he only threw up foam, not the biscuits. What should I do next?

My Bassett puppy, 9 months old, started vomiting on Saturday and has been vomiting ever since. She has bursts of energy but then becomes lethargic and lays around. She drank from a 'pee here' stake with an attractant on Friday, and I am unsure of its ingredients. She weighs 33 lbs, has a slender build, visible ribs, a bad smell, and drooping eyes. What could be causing her symptoms and what should I do?

My Bichon has diabetes and was well established on Vesulin 5mcg every 12 hours. Last night, she began to have sinus issues and went into a vomiting episode. She is 10 years old and has not vomited in 6 hours. She has taken small amounts of cooked oatmeal and is drinking water. I just gave her some sugar water as she is dopey now. How will the lack of insulin affect her if she does not get a shot for 24 to 32 hours?
