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, Charlie, a 45-pound, 7-year-old healthy dog, ate a burrito bowl containing cooked onions last night. I'm unsure of the exact amount of onions consumed. What should I do to ensure Charlie's safety, and what signs should I watch for to determine if he needs veterinary attention?
