My 13-year-old male Labrador has had diarrhea and has been losing weight on and off for several months. Tonight, he had diarrhea with some red blood in it. I am very worried. His appetite has been good, and he drinks water well. What could be causing this, and what should I do?

My dog, Bean, a 1.5-year-old, has been vomiting all day, initially with grass, dog food, and bile, but now with blood within the last 2 hours. She has not been able to keep food or water down, and the most recent water appears to have stayed down for now. She ate earlier today and last drank water about 30 minutes ago. There are no visible wounds in her mouth, and she has not passed any stools. Could she have ingested anything unusual or rat poison? What should I do until the vet opens at 6 AM?

My 4-month-old puppy, Cairo, ran into a chair and yelped about an hour and 40 minutes ago. His pupils look okay, he hasn't vomited, and he's running around and eating normally. Do I need to keep him awake for a specific period of time, and when would symptoms likely develop?

My dog has a bloated stomach, her tail is down over her bottom (usually it's up), and she whimpers when I try to move her tail to look at her bottom. She was pacing, drinking a lot of water, and has an appetite. She also seems to be kicking her back right leg occasionally. What could be wrong and what should I do?
