Our 15-year-old dachshund, Ember, woke us up moaning and was found lying on the floor with her head extended in an unusual way in her vomit. She was unable to move her head and only moaned. She is currently at the vet on IV, having been on pain meds and gabapentin for a few weeks. Ember is deaf and has poor eyesight. We are considering euthanasia due to her declining condition, but my wife is reluctant. What is the prognosis for Ember, and is it possible for her to improve?

My two dogs, both Llewellin Setters aged 11 years and 4 months, have shown symptoms of inappetence, excessive salivation, petit mal seizures, and elevated temperatures. One dog also experienced tremors. Bloodwork revealed low platelets and white blood cells, but normal chemistry. The dogs have been on antibiotics and steroids. There are many mushrooms in the yard, and I'm concerned about potential mushroom toxicity. What could be causing these symptoms, and what further steps should I take?

My friend's dog, Baxter, ate a small amount of marijuana (about 1 gram) this morning. He's a 2-year-old dog weighing 20-25 lbs. He hasn't shown any immediate signs of distress, but I'm concerned about potential side effects. What should I expect and how should I monitor him?

My 4-month-old puppy got hit in the head by my soon-to-be ex for biting. The puppy is in pain, can't keep his eyes open, has a blood blister under his eye, and his right eye is swollen. What should I do?
