My Husky mix, Nymeria (7-8 years old), has suddenly developed paralysis in her rear legs. She cannot move them at all, her pupils are dilated, and there is a tannish white substance in the outer edge of one nostril. What could be causing this and what should I do?

The sudden onset of paralysis in Nymeria's rear legs could be due to a slipped disc, a spinal stroke...

My foster dog, an 11-year-old Staff Pit Bull, has been digging and violently shaking his head after a flea bath and ear wash. He was up all night doing this. What could be causing this and how can I provide relief?

My 11-month-old miniature Aussie doodle fell hard yesterday and was fine initially, but this morning she won't move and is limping. Should she be seen by an emergency vet immediately, or can it wait until the clinic opens in two hours?

Our puppy, Maggie, ate 300mg of Seroquel, a human medication not used in veterinary medicine. She weighs about 5 lbs and has shown signs of grogginess and diarrhea. We found half the pill in one area and another half in the other area, indicating she might have eaten it. What are the potential effects of this medication on her, and should we take her to an emergency veterinarian?

I gave my 1.5-year-old dog, Molly, a duck foot, and now she's having bloody diarrhea. What should I do? She is otherwise feeling fine and has eaten her kibble, rice, and pumpkin.

My dog, Ginger, a 13-year-old Yorkie, suddenly can't move or stand on either of her right legs. She ate her supper fine but needed assistance to stand. She hasn't had any unusual stool and has always been indoors. What could be the cause of her sudden inability to use her legs, and what should I do?
