I have a six-week-old miniature Dachshund puppy who is having trouble using her back legs. Sometimes she gets it, but mostly she does the "splits" and pulls herself with her front legs. She doesn't seem to be in any pain and does everything else like her siblings. She is the runt of the litter and very small, weighing about four ounces, less than half the size of the rest of the litter, and has developed very slowly compared to them. What might be causing this and is there anything we can do to help her?

My dorkie (daushaund yorkie mix) keeps twitching his head involuntarily. His left eye keeps closing when he looks at anything for more than a few seconds and his eyes rolled back and shook yesterday (like a seizure, but just his eyes) and after saying his name twice he snapped out of it. I'm worried about a brain tumor or something. What's going on?

My dog has been very low energy for the last few days. He hasn't been going to the bathroom regularly (small amounts) and this morning he didn't eat his food, which has never happened before. He seems like his normal self (aside from what I just mentioned) just at half speed. What should I be looking for and what should I do?

My dog, Taz, has a swelling in his shoulder that has been present for about a week. The swelling is approximately 3 inches in diameter, soft, fixed, not painful to the touch, and causes him to limp. The swelling has remained the same size over the past week, is under the skin, and he has not had any recent vaccinations. Taz is 8 months old. What could be causing this swelling and what should I do?
