My dog, Molly, experiences stressful spells that last 4 to 5 hours, during which she exhibits uncontrollable movements. She had her first spell as a puppy and has not seen a vet in a long time. She was checked by animal poison control as a puppy and found no cause. A veterinarian suggested it could be due to too much protein in her diet, so she has been on a low-protein diet, but still experiences these spells. What could be causing these spells and what should I do?

My dog had a seizure last night, possibly stress-induced as she is a recent rescue. I also have a pothos plant in the house, which I'm concerned might be toxic to her through the air. Should I remove the plant, and what should I do about the seizure?

My 6-month-old Bichon Bolognese named Lilly had spasms and vomited yellow at 7:30am. She possibly ate some foam from a pillow. The day before yesterday, she vomited after a cold walk and was given antacids, chicken, rice, and yogurt. Last night, she ate her normal meal. What could be causing her symptoms, and what should I do?

My 12-year-old Chihuahua/Pug mix, Peanut, snores loudly and wakes up as if he's trying to catch his breath for a few seconds before going back to sleep. He also has allergies, is a bit overweight, and was recently seen for an unrelated issue where bloodwork, an abdominal ultrasound, and an X-ray were all normal. What could be causing this and what should I do?
