I have a 13-year-old Italian Greyhound who has been blind for the past 3-4 years due to cataracts. One eye is damaged, and the other is potentially operable, but there's no guarantee of success. She has no other health problems but has lost muscle weight as she stays in her basket most of the time. Is she too old for cataract surgery, and if successful, can cataracts grow back? Are there successful cases where dogs regain vision after surgery?

My 3-year-old female yellow lab, CJ, jumped off a deck and landed on her head and neck, leading to seizures. She has had multiple seizures since the incident and sometimes chokes when drinking water. Blood tests showed a mild positive for Lyme disease, but she has been on antibiotics and a special diet due to severe vomiting and diarrhea. What could be causing the seizures and choking, and what should I do?

She was given antibiotics for swollen lymph glands but her condition seems to be worsening. What could be causing these symptoms and what should I do next?
