My 12-year-old neutered male Chow mix, Hershey, has been experiencing sudden episodes where his back legs give out for 2-3 seconds, causing him to fall backwards but quickly recover without loss of consciousness. He has no other symptoms of a tumor or seizure, and his blood and fecal tests are normal. He is very fearful and aggressive at the vet and groomers, making it difficult to get a thorough examination. What could be causing these episodes and what should I do?

My dog, Buddy, who is almost 16 years old, cut his back paw pad and is bleeding. The bleeding is not severe but is dripping and leaving footprints. What should I do to stop the bleeding and when should I take him to the vet for stitches?

We have a 2-year-old Chihuahua / Yorky mix named Bear. He was lethargic most of the day with occasional foamy vomiting, and later appeared to be passing blood out his backside. He has been drinking water but wonβt eat. Could he have eaten anything unusual, and what should we do?

My 12-year-old dog, Darby, has lost control over his bladder and seems to have some breathing difficulties. This has been a concern for the last 24 hours. He is not on any medication, and his last vet visit was six months ago. What could be causing these issues, and what should I do?
