My 11-year-old beagle, Sheldon, has epilepsy. He was seizure-free for a year on Keppra but started having seizures again after the dosage was reduced. The vet now wants to add potassium bromide to his treatment. I've heard there are newer medications available. What are your thoughts on the best treatment options for Sheldon, considering his age and potential side effects?

My dog Sky, a Yorki/Shih-tux mix, is 6 years old and pregnant. Her due date was yesterday, and she has been panting heavily since late evening. Her temperature dropped to 97.9 and is now 98.6. She has not shown any pushing or contractions, just heavy panting, restlessness, and nesting. Should she have given birth by now, and what should I be looking out for?

My rescue dog, Geneva, ate one clove of cooked garlic. She is a 13-pound, 4 or 5-year-old dog. Will she be able to digest it, and is there anything else I should be aware of?
