My 7-year-old female pit bull, Kari, suddenly lost the ability to walk. She was fine yesterday morning but showed instability in the afternoon, stumbling and having difficulty maintaining balance. She has not eaten or drunk anything since yesterday, and her hind legs are contracted and limp. What could be causing this and what should I do?

My dog chewed some Palo Santo and I’m not sure if he ingested any. It must’ve been when I was asleep; he seems okay and hasn’t thrown up. How much did the dog chew? Do you know his weight? How long has it been since he chewed the pieces? What’s the dog’s name and age? Is there anything else the Vet should know before I connect you?

We brought our puppy, Nutmeg, home on Monday and she's been happy and healthy so far. However, overnight she's been pooping every 1-2 hours, and her last stool had some blood and mucus in it. She drank water with her meals throughout the day, tried to chew some grass when going outside, and has been eating about 3/4C of Diamond brand puppy food 3x per day. She has had her first two 5-way shots and deworming, and her tummy doesn't seem enlarged. What could be causing this and what should we do?
