I have an 8-year-old Chihuahua named Jake who is not wanting to eat, drink, or go out, and just wants to be in his bed. This started yesterday afternoon. He has bad teeth and seems to whine or groan when he changes positions, like he aches. Do I need to take him to a vet?

My 6-year-old rescue mix, who has always been healthy and super energetic, developed storm anxiety about a year ago. I tried to find things that would calm her without drugging her. I gave her VetriScience Composure chews (3) for 3 days. Since yesterday, she has developed diarrhea with watery stools. She seemed fine this morning, but this evening, her stools are still watery, and she is very lethargic and moving slow. She won't eat her usual scrambled eggs. What could be causing this and what should I do?
