From what I heard on a program last night, its most likely to be stress... try n keep it calm until the grands get back is about all you can do.

This was my first thought.
Yeah, old people often leave things lying around the house and the dog may have found it and thinking it was a bone, has subsequently eaten it.

It's eaten some acid in my expert veterinary opinion.
You need to cut it's stomach open with a kitchen knife and drain it. (Do this on plastic to avoid bloodstains)
Then get it drunk and give it some chocolate.
It'll be fine
If it dies, stuff it with socks and flush it's innards down the toilet, being old people they won't won't notice

Put the telly on in the background to muffle the sound of the fireworks. I'm afraid there's not a lot you can do to stop a dog from worrying if it's determined to be worried, and making a fuss could just make things worse because it'll think the fireworks really ARE something scary and that's why you're making a fuss.
But give it a cuddle if it comes to you of course.
The other possibility is that it's cold. What's the temperature in that room?
