My 6-year-old 8-pound Chihuahua mix, Mimi, has been lethargic since yesterday afternoon. She had one diarrhea and one normal poo yesterday evening, tried to throw up in the middle of the night but only a little bit of spit came out, and has not eaten or drunk much since then. She has not pooped or peed yet this morning. What could be wrong with her, and should I be concerned about her possibly ingesting something?

My dog, Bourbon, has hives all over his body. I gave him 4 Benadryl tablets (25mg each) about 4-5 hours ago, but there has been no change. He is isolating himself, sitting in weird places, and whining a lot. How long should I expect the hives to last, and what should I do if they don't improve?
