Two dogs, one 10 years old and the other 4 years old, exhibited symptoms including staggering, excessive hunger and thirst, labored breathing, kidney failure, and seizures over a 48 to 72 hour period. All blood tests came back clean, and they tested negative for antifreeze poisoning. The dogs had no history of vomiting or diarrhea, but they did have exposure to acorns and played in a creek. What could be causing these symptoms?

My 7-year-old pug was diagnosed with seizures 1.5 years ago and is on phenobarbital. Recently, she has been disoriented, off-balance, and falling to the right. Her phenobarbital levels are on the high side, and she had a mild seizure a year ago. What could be causing her current symptoms, and should I be concerned about a brain tumor or other serious condition?

My dog (a boxer with short hair) has small bumps all over her skin, similar in size to mosquito bites. She is completely covered with these bumps, which seem to be worse during the morning and afternoon but improve in the evening. She doesn't itch or seem to be affected by these bumps. Could this be an allergy/rash from something she is exposed to outside, or just mosquito/bug bites? Should I be concerned?

I have a 6-year-old dog that is half black lab and rot, weighing around 85 lbs. She has never turned down food but now she won't eat, is excessively thirsty, falls over, and cannot hold her bladder. What could be wrong?

My miniature schnauzer has a large bulbous growth on his elbow. He's been chewing at it almost constantly for the last couple of days. Can you tell me what this is and if I need to get him in to a vet?
