I’m assuming your dogs are having muscle tremors or fasciculations. If so there is not much to do at home - a veterinarian would treat with muscle relaxants, IV fluids and potentially medication to control seizures. You may need to travel to get care for your dogs. If the muscle tremors are relatively mild there may not be lasting side effects, but if they are severe then muscle damage, kidney failure or even brain damage is possible.
