My dog Milo has a small growth near his anus that has recently doubled in size. My regular oncologist diagnosed it as a papilloma, but a different oncologist at the cancer clinic suggested it could be a benign or malignant mole/skin cancer. The clinic's surgeon recommended removing it, but the cost is $2100, which seems excessive compared to previous surgeries at my regular vet, which cost around $650. Additionally, they want to keep Milo overnight, which I find unnecessary given his history of recovering quickly from anesthesia. I want a second opinion on the cost and the necessity of an overnight stay, and whether my regular vet, who has successfully removed several growths from Milo in the past, can perform this surgery as well.

I have an 8-year-old male French bulldog named Ozzie who has had two seizures, one week apart. The seizures lasted about 90 seconds and he was disoriented and restless for about 30 minutes afterward. Other than these incidents, he has been perfectly normal. I took him to the vet for blood work. Given the information provided and the absence of any other symptoms, is it likely to be something other than a brain tumor?

My 5-year-old Sealyham Terrier bitch has major shaking trauma when she falls asleep. It happens about every 10 seconds and appears more pronounced as she comes into heat. Is there anything I can do to try to correct this trauma?

How do you know when or if your dog is having a stroke? My dog can't stand on her hind legs and her head stays to the left. Also, when she tries to walk, she goes down or to the side. She is a basset hound.

Our 3-year-old Chihuahua drank an entire drink containing vodka and orange juice about 2 hours ago. She is acting intoxicated and has been sick. Do we need to take her in for medical treatment or will this wear off like it does with humans? The quantity was one drink with approximately 1 shot (ounce) of vodka mixed with about 4 shots of orange juice, the rest was watered down with ice. The puppy drank the entire drink as the ice melted. My wife is very worried, and our puppy (Lola) seems okay, but we want to ensure there is nothing toxic for this type of puppy and alcohol (vodka).
