My 15 1/2-year-old dog, Hope, was diagnosed with metastatic neoplasia. She has a lump on her side that recently became an open wound due to her licking. She also has dementia and has been having accidents in the house. What is the prognosis for her condition, and is there any way to know how long she has had this condition? Additionally, is she currently in pain, and what treatments are available?

My 8-year-old Papillon named Pippin ate a large amount of cherry pits, possibly around 30 or more. He didn't chew them and I don't have hydrogen peroxide to induce vomiting. What should I do to ensure his safety and prevent potential intestinal blockage or cyanide poisoning?

My dog, Dot, a 4-year-old mini fox terrier, has occasional seizures (about once every couple of months) that last for about 20 minutes, followed by an hour of being wobbly. She recovers well but appears confused and distressed during the seizure. My vet suggested it might be epilepsy but doesn't think medication is necessary yet. Should I begin a medication program?
