My dog, Walter, a 2-year-old overweight pug weighing 28 lbs, has been having seizures since Saturday night. He has visited the vet and ER four times this week. Recently, he walked into a neighbor's freshly fertilized grass, and I gave him a bath to clean him. Should I take any additional precautions before giving him his evening dose of phenobarbital (1/4 grain twice a day)?

My boyfriend and I just got home and found that our 6-month-old Pyrenees mix (Lilly) and 2-year-old black lab mix (Layla) have chewed up a bottle of Excedrin Migraine. We have picked up 4 pills and pieces of them crushed against the floor. I have no idea if they consumed any of the pills. Both of them are acting completely normal. What should we do?

I have a 2 1/2-year-old Goldendoodle named Sadie who received rabies, distemper, and bordetella vaccinations today at 1:00 PM. When I returned home after 5 hours, she could barely walk and appeared to be lethargic. She yelped when I rubbed the site of the vaccinations, and her front legs seem most affected. Sadie has had vaccinations before without any reaction. What could be causing this and what should I do?
