My 11-year-old Beagle Shepherd, Josie, has a large tumor on her spleen. The vet estimates the surgery to remove and test it for cancer to cost between $2500-3000. If it's cancerous, I don't want to put her through treatments. Can I leave the tumor in, and what are the risks?

My 7-month-old German Shepherd mix, weighing 51 lbs, got into my bottle of Effexor ER 75 mg while I was at work. I found all the pills except for one, and some capsules were broken open with powder on the floor. The dog is acting fine and not showing any signs of distress. Should I be concerned, and what should I do?

My Chihuahua, Buddy, started having seizures after being with me for 6 months. He's had 4 seizures in the last month, which last about 2-5 minutes each and include shaking, foaming at the mouth, and disorientation. He becomes normal and playful within an hour after each seizure. Why are the seizures starting now, and why so many in a short time frame? Is it something in my house causing this? What tests should I do, and what treatment options are available?

My dog, Zana, had parvo as a puppy and is now healthy and about a year old, but she has a problem with uncontrollable urination at random times, about once a week, always on the couch. She is potty trained and is a German Shorthair/Blue Tick Coon Hound, weighing about 60 pounds and very active. Could this be a side effect of parvo?
