What could be causing this sudden paralysis, and what should I do?

I have a 4.5-month-old English Cocker puppy named Pickle who has vomited four times and is now refusing to drink. The vomit was initially clear with undigested food and is now completely clear. There is a possibility he may have eaten some Irish Spring soap, and he is currently not drinking water. What should I do?

My dog, Daisy, a 12-year-old Bichon, has swelling under her right eye, likely due to an abscessed tooth, and she also has malaise and feels a little warm. I noticed the swelling yesterday, and she cannot lick the area. What can I do to help relieve her pain until I can get her to the vet tomorrow?
