My mini pin, Lucy, is known for severe seizures. Last night, she couldn't stand or walk, was unbalanced, and her left paw curled under her (walking on knuckles). She also became aggressive with her friend Buddy, which is unusual for her. What could be causing these symptoms, and what should I do?

I gave my whippet half a 25mg tablet of Promex (believed to be Acepromazine) for anxiety related to loud noises. It's been 18-20 hours and he's still very sleepy and dopey. I'm worried because it usually wears off more quickly. What should I do?

Rusty, a 17 lb male Rat Terrier who has been going senile, started coughing loudly and frequently. The vet diagnosed a trachea issue and prescribed Torbutrol and Temaril-P. However, Rusty is now exhibiting hyperactive behavior, whining, and barking non-stop. I gave him Benadryl, which had no effect. Is it safe to give him Diazepam, and are there any interactions with his current medications?

My 5-year-old, 5lb terrier mix has been experiencing lethargy, abdominal pain, loss of appetite, and crying, which seemed to be relieved by pain meds. The vet found no abdominal blockage but an enlarged prostate. Can I neuter him, and would an enlarged prostate cause these symptoms?

I work for a food bank and have received a donation of expired dry dog food. Is it still okay to give out or should I throw it away?
