My one-year-old Bichon and Shih Tzu mix puppy, Arlo, has been experiencing off-and-on diarrhea all day, along with lethargy and occasional vomiting. He has not eaten much and has had spurts of watery brown diarrhea. We are planning to take him to the vet in the morning, but I'm concerned if this could be an emergency. Should we take him to an animal emergency room now, or is it safe to wait until the vet opens in the morning?

Our Westie has had diarrhea for two weeks. We took her to a vet who prescribed a probiotic. We're now feeding her chicken and rice, and she has a good appetite and energy, but the diarrhea persists. What could be causing the chronic diarrhea, and what additional steps should we consider?

My 13-year-old Japanese Chin, Lady, has been vomiting blood since last night. She was accidentally locked in the bathroom, and there was a significant amount of blood everywhere. She is blind in one eye and her behavior is changing. She also has gingivitis and I've been financially unable to seek medical attention. What could be causing this and what should I do?

I have a black lab named Diesel, who is almost 22 months old. He has sores on his belly, is losing fur around his eyes and belly, and is scratching more with small sores. He is also a little overweight and was recently switched to a weight management food. What could be causing these issues and what can I do in the meantime before I can get him to the vet?
