My 14-year-old Border Collie got into chocolate last night. She had diarrhea and was shaky and agitated. My vet recommended giving her 1 mg of Xanax to combat the toxic effects of the chocolate. She weighs 70 lbs and is now very wobbly when she tries to stand, and her left eye is rolled back, which I've never seen before. What else can I do besides giving her water, and should I give her more Xanax if she's agitated again later?

My dog, Sancho, a 13-year-old miniature pinscher, has been constipated all day, hasn't eaten, and pooped bloody mucus with no stool. He's had an upset stomach on and off for the past two weeks, with occasional constipation and lack of appetite, but no diarrhea. Is this an emergency vet situation, or can I contact my vet tomorrow?

My cat Fenway has been throwing up constantly today, is on prescription wet food, and has not been urinating. He has a history of crystals forming in his urine, which has caused him to urinate blood and has thrown up 4 times today. Fenway is 8 years old. What should I do?

What could be the issue and what should I do?
