My border collie, Breeze, ate about 8 oz of milk chocolate. She weighs about 38-40 pounds and is 9.5 years old. She ate the chocolate within the last two hours and has not vomited. She seems fine and is alert and lively. Should I be concerned about chocolate toxicity, and is there anything I should do or give her?

My dog, Cloud, has been losing a lot of hair, forming a bald spot, and has been lethargic and itching for about a month and a half. He sometimes refuses to eat unless it's human food, and now he has red circles forming in his ears. He has a history of eating sugar-free gum, which almost caused his death twice. What could be causing these symptoms and what should I do?
