My dog has diarrhea, vomiting, gurgling stomach, not eating. Urgent?

Updated on September 23rd, 2025

Pet's info: Dog | Coton de Tulear | Female | spayed | 10 lbs

10yr coton de tulear, otherwise great health, ate grass and vomited wednesday night. I woke up Thursday morning to diarrhea on the floor, but she was eating regular food and treats and acting normal. however late Thursday night she had diarrhea again and has not ate since (it is now Friday night). I hear gurgling sounds when putting my ear near her stomach. Sadly all of the local vet offices are currently closed. Is it urgent? I did buy some prescription digestion food for when she is hungry.

Poor girl. These symptoms are suggestive of an internal illness (i.e. bacterial infection, kidney disease, liver disease, etc) for sure, and therfore its best to get Jace seen by your vet as soon as they open. If you can get her seen within the next 12-24 hrs, then that should be suitable enough. Continue to monitor her gums (should be nice and pink, if pale then it is an emergency), breathing (shortless of breath is an emergency) and energy level (severe lethargy and unresponsiveness is an emergency) for now.

I hope that Jace is able tot get seen and can recovery from her illness soon! Best wishes and take care.
