I took my 14-year-old dog to the vet today and he was diagnosed with kidney failure and pancreatitis. They gave him fluids, pain meds, and an antibiotic, and suggested euthanasia. I brought him home to say goodbye, but he is now paralyzed. Yesterday he was active, and today he is paralyzed. Is this normal?

My dog had surgery about a month ago for a ham bone that was caught in his intestines. There is a good chance that he just ate some cornish game hen bones. What should I do?

My 13-year-old teacup Yorkie has mucus and traces of blood in her stool, but otherwise acts okay. She is a little reluctant to use the staircase, which I think might be due to a vision problem. What could be causing this and what should I do?

My dog was diagnosed with Cushing's disease and was on Lysodren for 4 days, but experienced severe side effects such as dizziness, difficulty walking, and reduced water intake and peeing. After discontinuing Lysodren and starting prednisone, her side effects lessened but she still looks dazed and has facial asymmetry resembling a stroke. How long does Lysodren last in a dog's system, and did the initial harsh treatment cause damage?
