I have a five-year-old female bluenose bully pitbull who recently started having seizures out of nowhere. She had multiple seizures, and despite normal blood work and x-rays, the vet diagnosed her with Idiopathic Epilepsy and prescribed phenobarbital. However, my dog has become lethargic, confused, and unable to control her bowel movements since being discharged. I am concerned about the vet's treatment and the long-term effects of the medication. What could be causing this sudden onset of seizures, and what are my options for managing her condition without the ability to afford a neurologist or MRI?

My 12-week-old shih tzu puppy, Finley, might have licked a little bit of Caesar dressing from a container. He seems fine, but I'm concerned about potential garlic or onion toxicity. What should I do?

My girlfriend's 6lb dog, Lulu, ate 4 Hershey's Kisses within the past 10 minutes. She has not vomited since. Lulu is 10 years old and has a collapsing trachea and some inflammation in her legs. Is an emergency visit needed?

My dog is drooling, shaking/trembling, and can't hold her balance. This started about an hour ago, and all local vets are closed. What can I do?

My female 7-year-old blue and white pitbull Piper is having skin issues and is limping on her front paw. She has old and rough paw pads, uses a paw balm, and has no visible sores or swelling. She licks her feet and uses curaseb on her paws to control yeast and bacteria. What can I use at home to help her now?
