We have a medium-sized mixed-breed dog, approximately 50 lbs and 8 years old. He started vomiting yesterday night and hasn't eaten anything all day. Today, he can't keep any water down, and we're worried about dehydration. The wait for a vet at the emergency hospital is 7 hours tonight. Should we wait until tomorrow morning, and is there any additional danger because he cannot keep any water down until then?

My 11-year-old Shih Tzu, Daisy, has been scratching and biting a lot, causing her skin to become red. She has been on Apoquel and Science Diet Z/D for years, and recently I've been giving her Benadryl, but it's not helping. She has a history of allergies and has been treated with Cefpodoxime and Temaril-P in the past, which worked. She is also on a grain-free diet, has an enlarged heart, and a heart murmur. What else can I try to alleviate her itching and skin issues?
