My 85-pound lab, Rylee (age 2), ingested about 30 pieces of various chocolate (mini Hershey bars, Hershey kisses, candy canes) about 20 minutes ago. I gave her 3 tablespoons of hydrogen peroxide but she hasn't vomited yet. The hydrogen peroxide was expired. What should I do next?

Our 7-year-old Aussiedoodle, Fynn, who has Addison's disease, suddenly stopped eating her kibble and developed runny stools with blood after switching to different foods. She has been on her Addison's medication and prednisone since September and has shown no signs of pain, but her appetite and stool consistency have been problematic. What should we do to manage her condition until she can be seen by a vet?
