My 5-month-old Chihuahua, Molly, has had two episodes where she shakes, stiffens up, becomes very sleepy, seems frightened or can't see properly, but the next day she is fine. She didn't eat lunch or tea during the episode but was back to normal the next morning. I suspect she might have eaten something unusual, as I usually supervise her and she spends most of the day inside. When I took her to the vet, they suggested a neck injury and wanted to send her away for a $3000 scan, but she was fine the next day. Can they have over-sensitive stomachs?

My dog, Tug, a 9-year-old beagle blue heeler mix weighing about 40-45lbs, has been lethargic, showing signs of abdominal swelling, increased potty frequency, panting, and a small lump behind his back right shoulder. He has been eating normally but has softer stool and strains to poop. He also seems to be shedding more hair lately. What could be causing these symptoms and what should I do in the meantime before taking him to the vet?

My eight-week-old male miniature Australian Shepherd, Roxy, fell after trying to climb on a nightstand and now won't put weight on his paw. He has full mobility in the paw but shows pain when putting weight on it. What could be the issue and what should I do?

Our dog, Tango, a 3-year-old 45-pound dog, ate a Raid ant trap. We don't know exactly when it happened, but it was likely within the past couple of hours. The dog was found sleeping with a chewed ant trap on the floor and has not shown any signs of vomiting. Is there any immediate action needed, and what are the potential risks?
