My dog sometimes shakes and can't move for a few seconds.
My dog sometimes shakes and can't move for a few seconds. He then seems fine, but will often lose control of his bladder and bowels and will be sick. Then he's then again. Any ideas? He's been to the vet but he's always 'normal' when we get there.

Since having a bladder infection, my dog has been incontinent. Have you any suggestions please?
Dusty is a rescue dog, he is approximately eight years old and I have had him for four and a half years. In March this year he had a bladder infection, which cleared up with antibiotics, but since then he has been incontinent. He wets his bed every night and leaks on the carpets when he is resting. He is sometimes leaking as he walks around. He has had numerous tests and X-rays, which have shown nothing untoward. Have you any suggestions please?

My Bulldog, Jenny, has started to experience extensive problems with her skin, chiefly around her muzzle - in her creases.
My Bulldog, Jenny, has started to experience extensive problems with her skin, chiefly around her muzzle - in her creases. I apply Fuciderm on a egular basis, which it clears it up within 48 hours, but then it recurs a few days later. She also gets inflamed lumps between her toes. What is causing his? She's nearly eight and has never experienced skin problems before. She has had several courses of antibiotics without success, and an nti-bacterial shampoo, but nothing seems to work long term. Any advice would be gratefully received.
