One of my dog's eyes is dark red where the white should be, near his nose and over the top. We just noticed it about 5 minutes ago. He has allergies but none have been diagnosed, and he's on daily Apoquel. His name is Blackie, and he's a 12-year-old Pomeranian. He doesn't seem bothered by it, but we want to know if this needs an emergency visit or can wait until tomorrow to see the vet.

My dog is lethargic, has not pooped, has sluggish bowel sounds, a heart rate of 120-130, and is drinking more than usual. He did not eat his dinner and is usually very food-focused. I gave him pumpkin purée last night. Should I take him to the vet, and can I give him a laxative if needed?

My 9-year-old Miniature Schnauzer, Sam, has had diarrhea since Friday, followed by lethargy and a bloated belly. He has a history of clostridium overgrowth and is on metronidazole and a daily fiber supplement. He had regular bowel movements yesterday and today but remains lethargic and his belly is bloated. He didn't finish his breakfast and is generally less interested in food. What should I do for him, and should I take him to an ER vet?

My 120lb Great Dane, Salem, ate some homemade castile soap containing cinnamon, lye, and olive oil. He chewed up a bar the size of a whiskey ice cube and consumed perhaps a fourth of that. Should I be worried?
