My dog Ivan, who is about 9 years old, was fine yesterday morning but by evening he was staggering and now can't stand at all. His head follows my hand when I wave it in front of him, and he hasn't used the bathroom yet today. He hasn't seen a vet in years and isn't on any medications except a probiotic daily. What could be causing this and what should I do?

My dog, Sonny, has had hot spots for a week and a half. I have shaved the area and used ointments, but they are not improving. He has had Lyme disease in the past and was last at the vet a month ago for routine check-ups. He has been vomiting after taking Benadryl and aspirin, so I stopped giving them to him. He also keeps removing his cone. What should I do to help him?

My dog, Lulu, a 12-year-old dachshund, has been acting strangely for several months. She has become a voracious eater, drinks excessively, has a bloated stomach, and frequently wets the bed at night. She has also had sinus infections and runny eyes and nose. Despite several inconclusive blood tests, I suspect she has Cushing's disease. What should I do next?
