I have a 10-month-old German Shepherd/Border Collie mix (Milo) who ate some ghost pepper chips and has had diarrhea for the last two days, including a dark blood clot once. He hasn't vomited and is acting normal and very active. How concerned should I be, and what should I do?

My dog, Sugar, is hyperventilating, has dilated pupils, and is shaking. I noticed these symptoms when she started acting weird. She is 6 years old and has no known allergies. My husband checked the backyard for potential toxins like a frog but found nothing. What could be causing this and what should I do?
