My 5-year-old Australian Shepherd, Phoenix, has suddenly started having seizures this year. He is on vet meds (Potassium Bromide 250ML morning and night) and calming pills. He is on Science Diet and all-natural treats. He coughs a lot and seems very hot and pants all the time. Could heartworms be causing the seizures?

My 14-year-old Poodle-Whippet cross, Ollie, is walking sideways with his tail curled to the side and appears to have a pulling to one side. I have checked his bottom fur and matting, but found nothing. Ollie has recently had an x-ray, ultrasound, and a fentanyl patch for pancreatic pain, and is now on the mend and starting to eat again. What might be causing this behavior?
