Default Panting, Shaking, Staggering

Zipper, my 13 year old Toy Fox Terrier, spent about 3 days last weekend vomiting and having diarrhea, and so did my Yorkie and my dad's Yorkie. I took them to the vet who said it was a food change (which I don't believe) and my dad took his Yorkie to his vet who said it was a bacterial infection and to give yogurt and probiotics. She was fine for the rest of the week, until today she refused to eat dinner, was shaking all day, and just now started panting. It is not too cold or too hot in the house, my other two dogs have run around for about an hour now and are not panting. So I know this is not caused by temperature. Right after she started panting, she got up and staggered a little while walking.

I guess what I'm asking is, do you think I need to rush her to the emergency vet or can I wait until Monday? I don't know why dogs always have to get sick when the regular vet is closed.
