Our 8-year-old Doberman female was diagnosed with Wobblers in the early stages. She is currently on 15 mg daily of Prednisone. I have Tramadol and Gabapentin. Do you think Gabapentin will keep her calmer? How restrictive should her in-house routine be? We elected not to do an MRI at this point and have her scheduled for acupuncture treatment. What do you recommend to slow the progress of this disease?

My dog, Seamus, a 3.5-year-old Springer Spaniel male, has had 5 seizures in 16 hours despite being on medication. The vet recommended an MRI but it's too expensive. Should I consider euthanasia?

My dog, Molly, ingested part of a bag of ground coffee. She seems restless, has had two bowel movements this morning, and her heart rate is approximately 110, which seems irregular. What should I do?

My 8-year-old pug, Tank, has been vomiting since yesterday morning after eating a new type of dog treat. He also had a mini stroke a few months ago, which affected his balance and walking ability but has since recovered. Today, he vomited twice, has a straight tail, and seems more depressed than usual. He ate a small plain baked potato this morning but threw it up, and has only eaten a few pieces of dog food since then, which he also vomited up. He drank water earlier but hasn't since he got sick. What should I do?

My Great Dane has a cough that sounds like a fog horn and ends with gagging, but no vomiting. It occurs more frequently when she is excited and has been ongoing for about 3 weeks. She had a similar episode before, and the vet was unsure. What could be causing this cough, and what steps should I take to address it?
