My 12-year-old dog, Sampson, has failing hips and is struggling to move, including going to the bathroom. He couldn't get up the stairs last night and had to be carried by a neighbor. He ate his treats this morning but not his breakfast, which isn't unusual due to his sensitive stomach. He's been having hip issues for a while but never this severe. I can't get him into the car to take him to a hospital. What should I do?

My 12-pound dog, Ozzie, chewed up an ant trap containing avermectin b. He has had seizures in the past but none since changing his food over a year ago, and he had pancreatitis once after eating a dead squirrel. What should I do about this situation?

My Chihuahua, Toby, has been experiencing hair loss patches with flaky dandruff, a musty smell, crusty scabs on the hair follicles, and dark patches with redness around the edges on his skin. I noticed this two weeks ago on his back, and he has not been itching or licking the area. I started him on probiotics and an antifungal shampoo, but his condition has not improved. What could be causing this, and what should I do next?
