My dog, Nikka, a pitbull, has been lethargic, not moving much, and has her tail under her for 2 days. She has bad allergies and recently had a big mac burger and chicken nuggets. She can still jump and move around if prompted, but is generally not getting up unless called for. What could be causing her behavior and what should I do?

My dog has been experiencing episodes of extreme lethargy, loss of bowel control, tremors, and gazing off, with slow recovery. Tonight, he is not moving on his own, whines when picked up, and has been unsettled and whining since 6pm. He still wants to eat but is not as enthusiastic as usual. Could he have eaten something unusual, and what should I do?

My dog, Odin, a 2.5-year-old Golden Retriever, has had a swollen area on his left front leg near his shoulder for about 4 days. The area has a scab from a minor bleeding wound and is swollen, but there is no pus or bleeding now. I have applied Sulfodene, but the swelling persists. What could be causing this swelling, and what should I do?

My Maltese Shih Tzu ingested a rodent glue trap and possibly an allergy pill (25 mg of diphenhydramine) about an hour ago. She is lethargic and salivating a lot. Will she be okay?
