My dog, Tiggy, had surgery on Tuesday night to remove her gallbladder and uterus. Since the surgery, she has been vomiting water, drinking a lot of water, and not interested in food. She was eating when we visited her after surgery but now refuses food at home. She has been taking antibiotics and anti-nausea pills. Should I take her to the emergency clinic where the surgery was performed, as the specialists are closed on weekends, or is there anything we can do at home?

My 11-year-old 15 lb cockapoo with Cushing's disease was put on 25mg of Trilostane a few months ago. She has become lethargic, struggles to get up, and seems to have aged significantly. The vet suggested starting her on prednisone 5mg for 7 days, then decreasing to half a tablet every other day. I am concerned about her blood levels and the safety of combining these medications. What are the potential risks and alternative treatments for her condition?
