Jake, a 130-pound Great Pyrenees (9 years old), had TPLO surgery for a torn cranial cruciate ligament a couple of months ago. He is still limping but improving. He is currently on gabapentin 400 mg twice daily and was previously on Deramaxx. He has now started limping on his foreleg, and his 'wrist' joint appears more swollen on the side he is limping. Should I resume giving him Deramaxx to minimize discomfort?

My dog is shaking uncontrollably, has dark spots similar to a scabbed over rash on her stomach, a pimple-like bump near her neck, and has pain around her neck, making it hard for her to jump or go down stairs. She also yelped when touched on the back of her neck. What could this be, and is it recommended that I go to the vet or is there something I can do for her at home?

My 2-year-old Cane Corso dog had a 30-second seizure last night with foam coming from her mouth. She returned to normal within 3 minutes and was playing afterward. This was her first seizure, and she eats very healthy. What should I do?

My dog Hazard, who is 3 years old, is limping from his right paw. The paw is red and a little swollen, while the other three paws are fine. Hazard has been to the vet twice and was put on medication, but it didn't work. His food was changed to exclude chicken for two months, but his paw condition has worsened. What should be done to help Hazard?
