My two American Akita puppies (approx 10 weeks old) got into the insulation and were tearing it up. I'm not sure if they ate any, but one of them seems more lethargic than the other. They have both had solid stool, but wouldn't really eat their dry food. What should I do to ensure they are okay, and should I take them to an emergency vet?

My 2-year-old husky, Mina, threw up bile that looks bloody. She has been quiet and lazy today, and she is on prescription ID food for her sensitive stomach. Should I bring her to the animal hospital even though my vet is closed?

Lucy, a 12-year-old mixed breed dog diagnosed with diabetes in October 2017, has lost a significant amount of weight and recently lost her eyesight overnight. She is currently vomiting, not drinking much, and has diarrhea, despite still being happy and active. She is on 7cc of insulin twice a day due to reduced eating. What could be causing these symptoms and what should be done?

My Labrador Retriever (12 years, 80 lbs.) named Darby has been treated occasionally for a cervical neck strain using Methocarbomol and Deramaxx. He woke up whining at 1:00 AM and shows signs of renewed pain and discomfort, mainly reluctance to turn his head to the right. We are out of both medications. My wife has some Cyclobenzaprine, but I'm pretty sure the dog can't have that. Any suggestions?

I have a 4-year-old Newfoundland who hasn't been eating much over the last couple of days, has started whining at random times, and seems to want more attention than usual. She is otherwise acting normally, and I have checked her for any signs of pain, but I'm worried as this isn't usual behavior for her. What could be causing this behavior and what should I do?
