My 6-year-old pit bull, Chai, suddenly became lethargic and doesn't want to move, showing tremors when forced to move. She has pink and red dry gums, indicating she might be too hot or has a fever. She stands up to eat on her own but doesn't want to drink much water. I can't find any injuries on her. What could be causing this behavior and what should I do?

A mouse got into my bedroom and appeared to be pulling out hair from my dog's tail. My dog's rabies tag has a date of 2020. Do I need to get an immediate rabies shot or exam for my dog, who is an 11-pound Maltipoo? The dog seems fine, with no visible bites or blood, and is not in apparent pain.

My 90 lbs yellow lab swallowed 10-12 glass shards, most under 1 cm. The vet recommended surgery to remove them from the stomach due to the risk of perforation. Is the intestinal lining thick enough to withstand cuts from small glass shards, or could a few cause infection? Should we have opted for bulk feeding instead of surgery?

My dog's eye is red, itchy, slightly swollen, watery, and has green eye gunk. Is it an eye infection?

My dog won't move and yelps in pain. Walking hunched over. About 8 hours ago, the dog became lethargic and hasn't moved in 6 hours. The dog hasn't shown any interest in food and was fine and perky this morning with no fever. The dog's name is Cricket, and she is 12 years old. There is no indication that she ate anything unusual. Her abdomen is tender, and she was walking crookedly before she stopped moving, leading to a concern about a possible stroke. What should I do?
