My 2-year-old Irish Terrier, Limerick, has developed neurological symptoms similar to ALS in humans. She started with weakness and pain in her front left paw, which has now spread to her back left paw. She is constantly shaking, lethargic, and has a sore on her left front paw. Her condition has worsened significantly in just 5-6 days. Her appetite is okay, but she hasn't had a bowel movement in 20 hours. She may have ingested preen weed preventer two weeks ago. What could be causing these symptoms and what tests or treatments should be considered?

What is the appropriate course of action for treating a dog named Honey, a Pit Bull mix, who has been diagnosed with heartworms and has had fluid in her lungs? She has been on antibiotics, prednisone, and hydrocodone for a cough, and her condition has improved, but she still coughs when excited. The vet recommended waiting two months for a recheck before discussing treatment. What should be considered regarding the duration of antibiotics and the timing of heartworm treatment?

A dog attacked our dog, Bandit, who is 17 months old. The attack resulted in broken skin on the back, scratches on the leg and underbelly, and bleeding. Bandit's shots are up to date, and he is energetic. What immediate steps can be taken to care for Bandit's wounds until we can get to the vet in the morning?
