My boxer is on phenobarbital, zonisamide, and prednisone. He has been adjusting to these medications since December, but he still has very noisy and difficult breathing, especially when lying down, and doesn't move much. Is this a side effect of the medication, or should I take him to the hospital?

The noisy and difficult breathing your boxer is experiencing is not a typical side effect of phenoba...

My 4-year-old toy Yorkie has fallen down and acted like she's in pain on a few occasions over the last few weeks. During these episodes, she moves her head around as if she's temporarily lost her vision and shakes. These episodes last about 30 minutes, then she acts fine. I took her to the vet once, who suggested it could be low blood sugar or a seizure, but didn't confirm. Could it be a brain tumor?
