I have an 11-year-old springer spaniel who is struggling with erratic breathing, a distended rib cage, and discomfort. She is pacing for hours, drinking a lot of water, and only wants to lay on her right side. Her gums went white for a few minutes, and she has two benign tumors on her breasts.

My son's 2.5-year-old Husky, weighing about 75 lbs, has developed very runny, yellowish-green, and clear stool about 2 weeks ago. He has frequent bowel movements every 1-1.5 hours, but in small amounts. He still eats and drinks but is lethargic and isolates himself. His food has not changed, except he ate some of my lab's puppy formula (same brand, same consistency). He is known to eat socks, but we believe he has passed them all. He has had all his shots. Should I take him to the vet?

We have a male German Shepherd, 9 years old, who seems to be constipated and bloated. He drinks water but doesn't want to eat dry food but will eat wet food. He is currently taking Rimadyl for his hips and has been for a couple of years. He is laying down but not on his side as he usually does, and he is laying and crying a lot at times. What should we do until our vet opens tomorrow?
