My dog, Ava, a 3-year-old Beagle, is rapidly losing her eyesight, and her retina has been red for some time. She has a history of seizures and recently stopped taking daily seizure medication, only using it before stressful situations. Should I take her to the vet immediately or schedule an appointment for a few weeks out?

I have a 14-year-old, 12.7 lb diabetic Pomeranian named Harley who hasn't eaten properly in 3 days, is lethargic, shaking, and started throwing up water. He has tried various foods, including baby food and home-cooked meals, but hasn't eaten anything. Should I give him insulin even though he hasn't eaten, and should he see a vet tonight or in the morning?
