My dog was diagnosed with polymyositis, possibly from an allergic reaction. I added a new food to her regular Canidae diet around the time it started. After treatment with prednisone, the condition is almost gone. Can I use the open bag of Canidae? Is my vet correct that allergic reactions are almost never from food? If the prednisone makes her feel sick, is there another treatment?

I took my 5-month-old puppy to Kentucky last week where she met her siblings from the same litter. Since returning home, she has been acting strangely, not her usual energetic self, and has vomited white slimy foam. She refuses to eat or drink water and is lethargic. Should I be worried, and what should I do?

Our 8-year-old Doberman female was diagnosed with Wobblers in the early stages. She is currently on 15 mg daily of Prednisone. I have Tramadol and Gabapentin. Do you think Gabapentin will keep her calmer? How restrictive should her in-house routine be? We elected not to do an MRI at this point and have her scheduled for acupuncture treatment. What do you recommend to slow the progress of this disease?

My dog, Seamus, a 3.5-year-old Springer Spaniel male, has had 5 seizures in 16 hours despite being on medication. The vet recommended an MRI but it's too expensive. Should I consider euthanasia?

My dog, Molly, ingested part of a bag of ground coffee. She seems restless, has had two bowel movements this morning, and her heart rate is approximately 110, which seems irregular. What should I do?
