My dogs, Zeke (40-42 lbs) and Cash (50 lbs), might have ingested xylitol 24-40 hours ago. They have shown no symptoms so far. Should we take them to the vet for bloodwork, or is it safe to monitor them at home?

I have a 15-year-old, 10 lb Yorkie Poo named Onyx who went into CHF in 2019 and has been on Vetmedin, spironolactone, sildenafil, and benazepril since then. Recently, he's been coughing, mostly in the morning and at night, and sometimes sporadically throughout the day. He still has energy, plays, and has an appetite, but the coughing concerns me. He was off his Vetmedin for a period and the coughing seemed to start during that time. Could this be a collapsed trachea, heartworm, or fluid buildup in the lungs? His resting respiratory rate is 18-20 breaths per minute, and the cough seems dry. He has a vet appointment scheduled for this Friday and a cardiologist appointment for the following Friday. What should I be looking for or doing in the meantime?
