My 12 1/2-year-old dog, Inu, has had on-and-off diarrhea for the past 48 hours. He has been eating and drinking, but is more subdued and unhappy. He is having frequent, urgent small amounts of soft stool and sometimes strains without producing anything. He has never had accidents before but is now going inside due to urgency. What should I do, and can I wait until I see my vet on Monday if the situation doesn't improve?

I need to put my dog down today due to paralysis from the waist down. My dog is 14 years old, weighs 18lbs, and was last seen by a vet a week ago who thought it was arthritis. I was giving him Novox, but it didn't seem to help. What should I do?

My 12-year-old 15lb terrier mix, Lady, is experiencing bloody diarrhea and vomiting (no blood in vomit) after a recent change in her dog food due to an ice storm delay. She has a history of pancreatitis and is still drinking water, animated, and wagging her tail. What can be done to manage her symptoms at home until she can be seen by a veterinarian?
