My 14-year-old Cocker Spaniel, Asher, had an anal cyst rupture and is slowly bleeding, oozing rather than gushing. He is not in pain, is passing stools normally, and is not vomiting or lethargic. Should I take him to an urgent care vet at noon or to an emergency vet now?

My dog, Benji, a 4-year-old, started panting and hyperventilating about an hour ago. He also has something inside his left ear that looks like dark spots. I've been cleaning his ear, but today he began to pant and hyperventilate. It's very late at night, and I'm having trouble finding a clinic. What could be causing this, and what can I do to help him until I can get him to a vet in the morning?
