I have a 16-year-old apple head Chihuahua named Goten who recently started having seizures. He had his first seizure about a month ago and a second one tonight, which was slightly longer but not as physically contorted. After each seizure, he experiences severe imbalance and seems scared or confused but not in pain. He has always been healthy and active, though he has been sleeping more lately. What could be causing these seizures and what should I do?

My Yorkie, Sparkles, ingested a 3 mg nicotine pouch. She hasn't vomited yet, but I gave her a tablespoon of peroxide. She's acting normally, walking around and following me. Should I encourage her to drink or eat, and is it safe to give her more peroxide?

What is the thickened skin on my dog's right front paw elbow, and is it related to old age? My dog is a pit bull, and it doesn't seem to bother her.

My dog, Sasha, is about 11 years old. She recently stopped eating her regular dry dog food and switched to soft food, which she now eats. However, her stool has become very runny and reddish orange, and she seems more tired and has lost weight. She also has trouble standing up and her legs wobble initially after laying down. Additionally, I've started giving her doggy aspirin and a multi-vitamin. What could be causing these issues and what should I do?

My 5-year-old Golden Retriever, Eustis, has not been eating for about 2 months. Initially, a vet thought the enlarged liver was the issue, but after treatment and a second opinion, no medical reason for his lack of appetite was found. He will only eat beef jerky, which we were advised not to give him due to its high sodium content. What should I do to help Eustis start eating again, and is it safe to give him jerky as a last resort?
