My 15-pound, 7-month-old Shiba Inu consumed 4mg of Xanax about an hour ago. I induced vomiting with hydrogen peroxide, but she only vomited the food she had just eaten and not the pills. She currently shows no signs of drowsiness, just slight clumsiness. How concerned should I be, and what should I watch for?

We have a German Shepherd that has been scratching his abdomen and has black 'mole-like' spots. He also has very dry skin. What could be the cause of these symptoms and what should we do?

I have an older collie who has become weak in his hind legs, tends to walk to the left, and bumps into things on the left when he walks. When he starts eating, his hind legs collapse, and he walks in a right-hand circle back to his dish after his legs recover. He eats from the left side of his mouth and was diagnosed with Horner's Syndrome a year ago. He walks with his right ear straight up while his left ear hangs limp and is very unstable on his feet when walking. He has a good appetite and digestion. Has he had a stroke? Is there any hope or treatment for recovery?
