I have a Borkie named Max, age 5. He is reluctant to run up and down stairs, won't jump down, and starts panting. He also shakes intermittently and is less playful, allowing us to touch his tail more than usual. What could be causing these symptoms and what should I do?

My dog, Lenny, just had neck surgery for a herniated disk with paralysis. How long can it take before he shows signs of feeling his legs again, and when do you see signs of recovery? Additionally, if a dog starts to lose his sight, do they have trouble with balance when jumping off the couch?

My dog has open wounds on his head and near the ear. He's been scratching it for a day, and there is some bleeding but not severe. There are no changes in his eating, drinking, or stool habits. What can I do to help him until I can get an appointment with a vet?

What can I do and why is my puppy having these symptoms? My puppy, Bingo, is 3 months old and has puffy eyes with some liquid oozing, swollen privates, swollen nose and mouth, lesions on his hips and stomach which were bleeding. Should I quarantine him or keep him with his mother and sisters?

What causes the sides of the head to cave in and one ear is down and the other isn't? My 2-year-old chihuahua mix is also becoming aggressive with other dogs and people. This has been getting worse over the last few months.

I have a question about a litter of puppies. One of the puppies, sold to a new owner, has developed a spinal infection a month after being sold. The new owner claims it's hereditary, but our vet cleared all puppies at birth and during their first shots appointment. I want to know if Lyme disease could cause a spinal infection and lead to a dog not being able to use its back legs, and how long it takes for Lyme disease symptoms to show. Additionally, I'm concerned about the validity of the new owner's claim and want to ensure the puppy's well-being.
