My dog, Sammy, a 17-year-old house-bound dog, has had diarrhea for the past 2-3 days. It's watery and foul-smelling, and I've tried fasting him and giving him small amounts of pumpkin, scrambled eggs, and his dog food, but the diarrhea persists.

I have a dog named Cookie, a 5-year-old Akita, who has been throwing up mucus for a couple of days, which has worsened recently. She has stopped eating, only had a few sips of water, and has no energy. She is up-to-date on vaccines but not spayed. What should I do?
