My daughter's dog is breathing weird and collapsed. The vet suggested bringing him in if he survives the night. What can she do to keep him comfortable in the meantime, and what could be the potential causes of his condition?

My 14-year-old dog was sluggish today. I received a call saying she wouldn't get up, peed herself, had funny breathing, and wouldn't eat or drink much. When I got home, I managed to get her up for a second, and she drank a lot of water. I fed her some mashed potatoes, and her stomach seems hard. I gently pushed on it, and she didn't seem to have pain. What can she have at home for pain relief if she does have pain, and what could be wrong with her?

My 6-month-old Maltipoo puppy was diagnosed with Roundworms. We are on the second round of Safeguard. I am concerned about my kids' safety since the puppy often has hands in his mouth and previously pooped on the carpet. Are my kids in danger? Can the worms survive in the house, specifically in the carpet? Is it true that it takes a couple of weeks outside the body for the eggs to become infective? Should my kids be on any preventative measures?

We have a 125 lb. Great Pyrenees/Golden mix with grand mal seizures. She is three years old and is on phenobarb and potassium bromide. Breakthrough seizures are still occurring every four weeks, with as many as 16 over a 48-hour period. They only last one minute with loss of bladder control. She is also on thyroid meds for low thyroid. All of these problems began when she was a year old. She was given thorough testing at that time, including a CT scan, and the result was idiopathic epilepsy. We feel totally helpless and feel there must be more we can do to give her a better quality of life. Any suggestions?

I have found a lump under my dog's skin on his rib cage. He is 9 months old and is a golden retriever. What is it and what should I do?
