Poor Bailey! That is very concerning and I don't think it is something that can be treated without some veterinary care. Please call your vet and have him examined and treated asap, especially since the vomiting and diarrhea is bad and he is shaking. He may be getting dehydrated and in need of fluids. He could have a parasite or an infection and your vet can run lab-work to help determine the cause and then recommend a treatment plan. Hope he feels better soon!

    Poor Jasmine! It's hard to say what's wrong without being able to examine her and do some testing, but these are very concerning signs - you're right that she may have gotten into something toxic, or she may have had a seizure or some other neurologic problem. This may be a life-threatening problem, so I would recommend taking her to the vet immediately for an exam - he/she can do blood work or other testing if needed to help diagnose the problem and get her started on appropriate treatment.

    Unfortunately rhese are fairly non specific signs, but in a dog as young as Chloe my first concern would be some type of poisoning, or toxin ingestion. I would advise immediate care at an emergency facility in order to run lab woe and start figuring out what could possibly be going on. I wish I could tell you more, but I am definitely concerned, and I would get her right in.
