What can be done for a 7 lbs Maltese named Tilly, aged 14 years, who has been experiencing stomach pain for 2 weeks, has not eaten in over a week, and is currently gasping for air and crying out?

My dog ate 0.2 oz of a brownie I dropped on the ground. The dog weighs 37 lbs, is 6 years old, and has not vomited since eating the brownie. The dog is acting normal. Should I be concerned, and is there anything else I should know or do?
