Our 6-month-old Shepherd mix puppy, Spooky, got tangled in his lead for about 4 hours. When we freed him, his leg was bound and swollen, and he's been limping on it. He's not crying but avoids putting weight on it and moves it away when touched. He's still eating and drinking normally. What should we do?

My 7-month-old Rottweiler mix puppy, Rocco, has been experiencing liquid, watery diarrhea since about 9pm and is now vomiting as well. He threw up twice within 10 minutes. I don't think he ate anything unusual today, and he didn't spend any time outside alone. He's also shaking and not really sleeping. Should I put him in the kennel for sleep or let him stay in bed with us?
