My 4-year-old pit bull cross, Poe, is acting unusual and seems to be in pain with symptoms like flattened ears, low energy, slinking around, and a hunched back. She had knee surgery in the past and is currently eating, drinking, and pooping normally. What could be causing her pain and what should I do?

My dog Max, a 4-year-old Collie, had blood in his stool about 2 hours ago and seems to have a belly ache. He is current on his vaccines and we have given him Imodium. His brother had a similar issue a month ago. Should I take Max to an emergency vet tonight, or can this wait until morning?
