Border Collies are smart but not always eager to obey, so train with patience. Start with simple cues (sit, down, stay) using food rewards and praise, then build up to retrieve and heel once the basics are solid.
My cat was sleeping, suddenly jerked awake, fell, and had a seizure — why?

If a vet isn't immediately possible and there's no fever/eye discharge/mouth ulcers, a pet antibiotic (amoxi-clav, doxycycline) plus lysine, vitamin C, and protein may help.

My hamster had diarrhea, then stopped eating and drinking, and now isn’t defecating — what should I do?
