I have an 8-year-old American Eskimo/Shih Tzu cross rescue dog who has been with me since he was approximately 2 years old. He supposedly was neutered before I got him, but when he gets excited or aggravated, two hard small balls form and his penis becomes very hard. He is also very aggressive towards big dogs. Does my dog need to be re-de-sexed?

My puppy is constantly sneezing and clearing his nose. His nose seems to be running with clear discharge, and he sounds mildly congested. His eating habits haven't changed. What could this be and what should I do?

My older dog has limited use of one back leg and some use of the other. She can't get up without my help and often falls. She has had two laser treatments on her knees. How can I tell if she is in pain, and what should I do to help her?

My old English bulldog female is bleeding from her anus. The blood is dark and initially smelled like pus, but now it's more dark red without a smell. She has no diarrhea, vomiting, or other symptoms, and is eating and drinking normally. What could be causing this and what should I do?

My 12-year-old lab had his first seizure after a stressful vet visit. He had a full-blown seizure on the ride home, which lasted about a minute. He recovered almost immediately. The vet noted it in his chart. Are one-time seizures common? Can over-stimulation cause a seizure? Is it likely an underlying medical condition, or could stress alone be the cause?
