A dog ate some lamb liver a few days ago and now has seizures, breathing difficulty, weakness, no appetite, and drinks very little. What is the cause?
If a dog ate lamb liver a few days ago and now shows seizures, breathing difficulty, weakness, loss of appetite, and low water intake, the most likely cause is vitamin A toxicity or another metabolic issue from the organ meat, though other toxins or disease are possible. Lamb liver is very rich and can overwhelm the system.

What happens if a dog eats two grapes?
One or two grapes usually have little effect; studies say toxicity needs about 115 g per kg, but watch the dog. If lethargy, vomiting, or fever appear, see a vet. Never feed grapes; a sensitive sugar in them damages kidneys, and seeds contain cyanides that also poison.
My cat ate about two pieces of chocolate candy, the Russian purple-wrapped imported kind.

Is it okay to feed a Shiba Inu table rice?
Not recommended; rice is mostly carbs with single nutrition, bad for development. If adding veggies or meat, blanch first to reduce salt and seasoning that burden metabolism and cause shedding or tear stains. Never add onions or garlic (hemolytic toxicity). Rice is sticky and harms oral health, so brush daily.
How to raise a small local dog?
Local dogs are healthy and adaptable, easy to raise. Ask the previous owner about its food; keep the same kibble then transition gradually. If it ate rice or veggies, switch to kibble after adapting, but never feed onions or leeks (toxicity) or too-salty food (tear stains, shedding, soft stools).
