My dog ate sand yesterday afternoon and this morning he pooped out some of it. He keeps trying to lick his butt and his tail is not up and wagging. He did take a treat though. Anything I can/should do?

My parents' 8-year-old lab has suddenly stopped eating and was refusing water. He had trouble breathing two nights ago but is now breathing normally. He has been lethargic and vomited once, possibly after trying to eat grass. What could be causing this and what should be done?

Our normally active 5-month-old papillon started whining about 1.5 hours after we all went to bed. He looked sick, was drooling a little, and instead of running around, he would walk around and then sit on his hind legs. Then he had one episode of projectile vomiting. Earlier in the evening, my 8-year-old was carrying him and commented about hearing water gurgling in his stomach as she held him. He did get out of his crate tonight and wandered through the house. I worry about him eating chocolate but haven't seen any on the floor. I worry about bowel obstruction. What could be causing his symptoms and what should be done?
