Our 2-year-old female Bull-Mastiff has developed a phobia of climbing 6 steps from the den to the living room. She previously hesitated but always managed to climb them. She can still climb steps at the vet's office. We've tried enticing her with treats, but nothing works. What do you recommend?

I wanted to let you know that my dog, Thomas, suffered several seizures/strokes late Sunday night that left him paralyzed and he was euthanized. The diagnoses ended up being encephylitis secondary to an aggressive cancer involving the brain. Thank you again for your informative and compassionate response to my questions.

My dog's eyes are dilated, jaws are swollen, and he can't seem to chew or swallow well, but has no fever. What could it be?

Do dogs get dementia? My 13-year-old pitbull exhibits signs of wandering, barking, crying, and whimpering at night, along with anxiety and panting. She also faces corners and shows other unusual behaviors.

I have a 5-year-old Boston and a 2 1/2-year-old Pug who are friendly and loving but recently attacked and killed my mother's 13-year-old chihuahua/terrier who was blind and deaf. The Boston and Pug had previously shown signs of aggression towards the chihuahua/terrier, but I separated them when I was not home. Why did this happen, and should I be concerned about future aggression towards other animals?
