My 2-year-old 85-pound lab, Moose, ate an 8x4 inch flannel rag last night. He has been eating, drinking, and pooping normally, but I'm concerned about potential intestinal obstruction. What signs should I watch for, and what steps should I take to ensure his safety?

We just got our Yorkie yesterday, and she hasn't pooped yet. She has eaten a couple of times and pees. She threw up after her breakfast when we first got her, but hasn't thrown up since. She seems lethargic and doesn't want to walk around much. What should we do to help her defecate and maintain her energy levels?

My Basset Hound, Roy, is 6 years old and has been slow moving this week, yelping when he moves, and appears to be in pain when touched lightly on his left back leg. He is not limping but has difficulty going up stairs. He has no prior symptoms and is not known to have arthritis. What should I do for him in the moment, and should I take him to the vet?
