My dog Tucker, a 1-year-old weighing 5.6kg, ate a piece of a dead bird and is now experiencing soft stools and increased flatulence. He is eating well but has had diarrhea once. Should I take him to the vet, and is there a risk of H5N1 transmission from the bird to Tucker or to people?

My 5-year-old 37 lb. female Cocker Spaniel is on phenobarbital 2.5 tabs every 12 hours, but she is having seizures again. The vet recommends adding potassium bromide. I am unsure about giving her two drugs and hope to get her off phenobarbital. Is there a safer alternative to phenobarbital for controlling seizures?
