My dog, Luna, a 7-year-old Ridgeback, has been drinking a lot of water, peeing in the house (which she hasn't done since she was a puppy), and barely eating for about 10 days. Her energy level is lower but she still manages our twice daily 3-mile walks. She is not in pain and is spayed. What could be causing these symptoms and what should I do?

My 6-year-old female Boxer is struggling to urinate, attempting to urinate frequently but passing little urine and some drops of blood. She also seems generally upset. She was diagnosed with hypothyroidism a couple of weeks ago and has been taking medication once daily for that. Should I try to find an emergency vet at midnight, or is she likely okay until they open in the morning?

He occasionally rubs his eyes, especially in the morning, but they are open and not visibly red. What could be causing this, and what can I do to help him until I can get a veterinary appointment?
