My dog is shaking, panting, licking lips, and pupils are huge. Poison?

Question

Dog can't stand without shaking, he is panting excessively and licking his lips. His pupils are huge. He is a 60 lb husky shepherd mix. This same exact thing happened to my 115 lb bloodhound about a month ago. Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed Medium (23 - 60lb) | Male | unneutered | 60 lbs

This is most suspicious of a drug, medication, or poison ingestion. It would be good to have a look around the house and see if there is any possibility that he got into prescription medication, or illicit drugs. Certain plants, wild mushrooms and household chemicals (i.e. antifreeze) can also cause toxicity like this. Considering his current signs, it's best to take him to a vet as soon as possible. They can help identify the cause of this and ensure he doesn't have life-threatening complications. If you happen to identify something he could have ingested, then it's best to inform the vet, so he can get the necessary treatment as soon as possible. I hope that helps and Odin gets better soon.
