I have a 14-year-old dog named Marcus who was diagnosed with Vestibular Disease. He has been showing signs of age, such as slowing down and difficulty with stairs, but was alert and eating well until he suddenly started staggering and falling, with a tilted head and shifting eyes. He has not attempted to walk since then, is drinking water but eating very little food, and has been on Dramamine and Amoxicillin. Despite some initial signs of improvement, he never regained the ability to walk and will be euthanized today. I am seeking advice on whether to postpone euthanasia and if there is any chance of him walking again, considering his severe case of vestibular disease and his age.

My 18-week-old puppy ate about 3/4 of a Smucker's grape jelly sandwich 4 hours ago. The puppy has not vomited or had diarrhea. How toxic is Smucker's grape jelly to puppies and what can I expect? Should I go to an urgent pet vet?

My dog, Dolla Bill, a high-energy mini schnauzer mix, has been experiencing pain in his sides, specifically the muscles around his spine, after walks. He yelped when I touched his sides, but the vet couldn't find anything wrong. They recommended gabapentin for pain relief. Dolla Bill's energy is down, and he can't jump as high as he used to. Is this normal, and what should I do to help him?
