My mini schnauzer, Abbie, has been experiencing seizures since she was 21 months old. She was diagnosed with epilepsy and has been on phenobarbital and, more recently, potassium bromide. Despite the medication adjustments, she continues to have seizures and has developed significant muscle weakness and coordination issues. I am concerned about the side effects of the medications and whether she is receiving the correct dosage. What should I do about her seizures versus her physical problems?

I am from Fiji Islands and have a 9-year-old Rottweiler named Rambo. He started panting heavily two days ago, isn't eating or drinking, has saliva coming out from the side of his mouth, and has difficulty sitting down. I checked his temperature, and it seemed normal. What could be causing these symptoms?

Our 12-14 month old healthy shelter dog suffered a snake bite 1" below the eye on the 4th of July. She was screaming due to shock and pain, and her rear legs became immediately paralyzed. The next day, there was a big swelling around the bite wound. Treatment with high doses of Vitamin C, antibiotics, antihistamines, and ibuprofen was successful, and she is now eating and drinking almost normally with OK digestion, but there is no movement in her rear legs. What can we do to help, and is this condition reversible?

My Doberman just came in from her fenced backyard and has a strong smell on her breath that resembles adhesive tape. Could she have been poisoned?
