I brought my dog to Southern Oregon Veterinary Specialty Center due to neurological issues, specifically grandmal seizures. They charged me $1100, kept her overnight, and administered medication without my consent, exceeding my budget. They refuse to provide a prescription for seizure medication unless I pay an additional $400, which I cannot afford. I need an RX for seizure meds like phenobarbital and Keppra to manage her condition at home. What can I do?

My dog, Chief, is hoarse, has diarrhea, and is vomiting. He was boarded for a week and now he's sick. The vomit is liquid and foamy, with no food. He has access to black walnuts in the yard, and he's 15 months old. What could be causing his symptoms and what should I do to help him until I can get him to the vet?

My 4-month-old puppy, Camila, has recently developed small diarrhea with a tiny drop of blood. She is acting normally and had a normal stool check two weeks ago. She hasn't eaten anything unusual and is not showing signs of dehydration or vomiting. What could be causing this and what should I do?
