My 10-year-old Sheltie is occasionally slipping with her rear legs, especially on wood and laminate floors when she rushes. She has no difficulty with stairs or jumping and no known pre-existing medical conditions. This issue started two days after changing her food from Blue to Orijen. Could the diet change be related to her slipping?

My 13-year-old dog had a seizure last Thursday, during which she lost the ability to stand due to shaking hind legs. After the seizure, she seemed fine but later stopped eating and became too weak to walk. I took her to the vet, who diagnosed low blood sugar and administered IV fluids and injections. Despite treatments, she remains weak and has lost her appetite. She exhibits symptoms such as head cocking to the right, stumbling, house soiling, isolation, fear of noises, and a persistent loss of appetite. I cannot afford an MRI, and I'm seeking advice on what could be causing these symptoms and what further steps I can take.

My cocker spaniel had a toe removed on his back leg due to squamous cell carcinoma. He is now home but is tripping on his front legs. Is this due to the operation or could it be a nerve issue in the neck?

My 10-year-old pitbull has thigh atrophy, feels hard, and has swelling down the back right leg to the paw. He has also lost bladder control on my bed because he couldn't stand up to get off the bed. Despite this, he is still well-behaved. I can't afford to go to a vet unless I can find one that allows payments. What should I do?

We have a Newfoundland dog who has been shedding a lot, biting himself, and licking his wounds for several months. We've been advised to try treating him for flea allergies with Benadryl and a food allergy diet with sweet potatoes and pinto beans, but he hasn't been eating the new diet. What options could you give us?
