My 12-year-old Golden Doodle, Josie, has been experiencing a persistent cough that was initially thought to be kennel cough but has not fully resolved despite treatment. Recently, she has also vomited yellow bile, shown a decreased appetite, intermittent weakness and shaking in her hind legs, and increased lethargy. She had GDV surgery last year and recently had X-rays showing a 'weird' lung pattern that the vet sent to a specialist. Her blood work has been clear, but she has a mass on her spleen detected via ultrasound. What could be causing these symptoms and what should be done?

My dog, Jar Jar, is tachycardic after eating chocolate. He was given SQ fluids, nausea meds, and Pepcid by the vet, but his heart rate has been around 120 for hours and he is restless. He is 7 months old and weighs 67 pounds. He vomited for a couple of hours after eating the chocolate. What should be done?
