What could be causing my dog to sleep with her eyes open, have a green discharge in both eyes resembling conjunctivitis, and not blink (which lubricates her eyes)? The whites of her eyes are red, and she appears to have a whitish appearance in some places across her eyes. She also seems to have difficulty seeing things until she is right in front of them. Can conjunctivitis or a dry eye condition cause these symptoms, and what tests and treatments are recommended?

My dog ate a shamrock plant and some dirt. Now she is restless, wants to go outside and nose around in dirt, and her mouth seems to bother her a lot, causing her to gulp and swallow hard frequently. She doesn't appear sick otherwise and still moves around and wags her tail. Is this serious?

Our 80 lb lab mix vomited and had several stools, initially being lethargic but now walking and having more bowel movements. Should we go to the ER vet or wait until morning to see our regular vet?
