My dogs got out of their crates and got into a bag of Cheetos, chewed on eucalyptus tabs, and chewed up a pen, leaving tiny shards of plastic on the floor. What should I do?

My 4-month-old puppy has been vomiting and having diarrhea all day. Initially, the vomit contained food, but now it's liquid and foamy. The first vomit had a large, unchewed piece of a chewy tray. The local emergency vet has a 4-hour wait and a $400 minimum fee. Can I give her Prilosec as a comparable to Pepcid AC? She might have had a parvo shot two weeks ago, but I don't have her vaccine records. She started a new food yesterday, but the severity of symptoms seems more than what the food could have caused. Should I be highly concerned about parvo?

My dog, Buddha, a 5-year-old on thyroid and anti-itch medication, has been casually throwing up undigested kibble for the past 4 days. His energy levels are fine, but he had some bone-like treats earlier in the week. What could be causing this and what should I do?

My dog, Frodo, has had diarrhea and vomiting for 48 hours. The vomit was initially liquid and clear, but later contained what looked like eggs. He also ate my foster dog's poop. My foster dog has also started having diarrhea today. What could be causing this and what should I do?

My puppy, Leah, has worms. I noticed them on Monday when I cleaned her poop. She vomited some food but no blood in her stool. She also had throat spasms possibly related to the worms. The worms are short like grains of rice and white. I have an appointment with a vet on October 1st, but is it okay for her to have the worms until then? What should I do in the meantime?
