My dog, Bear, an Anatolian Shepherd about 150 lbs and approximately 10 years old, just had a seizure where he dropped over at the top of the stairs, had convulsions, and wet himself.

My 7-year-old indoor Pomeranian ate grass 3 days ago, which she never does. Since then, she has shown symptoms including watery eyes, vomiting, diarrhea, itching, restlessness, swelling under her chin, pinker skin, shakiness, shivering, smelly mucous diarrhea, and potential hives. She has not eaten or drunk water since. What could be causing these symptoms and what should I do?

My dog winces with pain when he tries to lie down fully, but can lie down with his head up and be fine. Should I get this checked out, and could it be related to gas?

My 9 1/2-year-old shihtzu, Charlie, has become listless and occasionally yelps when picked up. He has had similar episodes before, usually after jumping or grooming, but recovers within a few days. This time, it has been two weeks. He is also dealing with a severe flea infestation. What could be causing his symptoms, and are there any dog-friendly anti-inflammatory treatments available?
