My 11-year-old cross collie suddenly became unable to walk, with an MRI and X-ray showing nothing abnormal, and normal blood tests. After a week in the vet, the dog is walking almost normally but is now showing signs of confusion, teeth chattering, and intermittent loss of appetite. What could be causing these symptoms and what should I do next?

I recently went on a trip for a week and my beagle has been acting up ever since then. She will go in the crate as normal but now she howls and shreds anything in there or near there. I believe this to be separation anxiety and have tried the "Thundershirt" and "kong ball" but neither works. In fact, she somehow manages to push the ball out of the crate and she got the shirt off and tore it to pieces. I live in the Grand Canyon and cannot easily get to a vet or hospital. Is there anyway to get her something through mail without a prescription that will calm her down?

My 11-year-old dog, in good health, had his annual vaccines on Tuesday. Since Wednesday night, he has not eaten, been lethargic, and vomited. On Saturday, a CBC showed normal liver and kidneys but elevated white blood cells. The vet administered benzapen penicillin, Cerenia injection, ENDOSORB TABS, METRANIDAZOLE, and METOCLOPRIMIDE. He is still not eating, disoriented, but drinking water and urinating without vomiting since yesterday. Should I be concerned enough to take him to the emergency vet?

I have a 1 year and 4-month-old Chihuahua Beagle mix that is very active. He came home last night favoring his right front leg, and now it has switched to his right back leg. He seems weak and can't walk on it. We can't find any signs of a bite or trauma, and he ate well and urinated normally. I gave him a baby aspirin. What should we do?
