My dog, Dixie, a puggle about 8 years old, has been scooting excessively and has a swollen anal area for at least 6 months. I've had her anal glands expressed, but the issue persists. She poops normally and has some lesions on her hips from a previous spinal cord injury. What could be causing this and what can I do for temporary relief until I can afford to take her to the vet?

My dog, Cooper, started vomiting this morning with red chunks in it, now it's clear and foamy. He has whole body spasms when trying to throw up and has vomited 8 times. He has diarrhea tinted red, is lethargic, drooling, and refusing to eat or drink. He ate cooked sweet potatoes with butter and red dog treats last night. What should I do to help him?
