My 11-year-old male standard poodle has had five seizures within the last 4 hours, each lasting less than 20 seconds. He has a prescription for Fina Barb (Phenobarbital) but does not take it daily, only post-seizure. Should I take him to the emergency vet?

My dog was given subcutaneous fluids today and still has lumps from the fluids. He seems sluggish and very sensitive when I touch the lumpy areas. Can there be any serious complications from the administering of subcutaneous fluids? Is his sensitivity to touching the lumpy areas a cause for concern?

My 10-year-old German shepherd had an altercation with a bull a few weeks ago, resulting in a shoulder injury. The local vet prescribed compresses and rest, and the shoulder seemed to improve. However, I recently noticed a swollen, hard, and warm joint above his left front paw, and he is favoring the paw. The vet prescribed more compresses, but I am worried. What could be causing this new swelling, and what should I do?

I have a Yorkie Poo who is 3 and a half years old. She has been experiencing problems with her bowel movements, appearing to be constipated. She strains to poop and drags her butt to remove it. This issue has been ongoing for the last two days. What could be causing this and what can I do to help her?

My bolognese dog, 15 lbs., 7 years old, has had diarrhea and been vomiting small amounts for 3 days. This morning he threw up jelly-like red blood, possibly from eating part of a pork spare rib about a week ago. He does not act sick at all. What should I do?
