My dog keeps throwing up and won't drink. When should I see a vet?

Thank you for submitting your question regarding Winnie. Yes, I recommend that she sees a veterinarian if she is still not eating and drinking. I worry that she will become dehydrated being such a small dog. Based on her exam findings, treatment can be recommended or diagnostics if necessary. For example, fluids can be given under the skin to rehydrate her and anti-nausea medication to control any further nausea and vomiting. I hope this information helps!

Given that Reign is vomiting the chicken and barely drinking water, it's time to see a vet. You've tried a home remedy and she can't keep it down. She needs a shot to stop the vomiting, IV fluids for hydration, and any other treatment the vet deems necessary. Please take her into a vet immediately.

Oh no, that's not good! It's quite serious when a dog can't even keep down water, and it can be caused by a severe GI illness, pancreatitis, a foreign body, or eating something rotten. This requires an immediate vet visit so the cause of the vomiting can be diagnosed and treated. Please take your dog into a vet now.

You have to Hydro into a vet now. It's a medical emergency when a dog can't even keep down water, and leaving him in this condition without veterinary care is cruel. He could die from dehydration. Take him into a vet immediately.

Poor Mookie sounds like he is feeling poorly! He could have a GI illness, may have eaten something rotten, or could have a foreign body among other things causing his vomiting. Normally I'd recommend a bland diet if a dog is at least drinking water, but because he isn't drinking, he really should see a vet today. The vomiting combined with refusing to drink could easily lead to dehydration, and that should be avoided. I would take Mookie into a vet today to diagnose why he's vomiting so he can be treated as needed. I hope this helps!

Vomiting can be a sign of a number of different problems ranging from minor issues like eating a non-food item from the yard to more serious diseases. Sometimes after vomiting dogs can feel nauseous or weak, so I wouldn't be too concerned about Poochie not responding to his name unless he also seems disoriented or extremely lethargic. If the vomiting continues or he continues to act very abnormal you should see an emergency veterinarian. While it is probably okay to drink a little water I wouldn't encourage him to drink too much as this can sometimes trigger more vomiting.

If he hasn't been eating in two days it is highly abnormal, i would not recommend waiting, he needs to see a vet as soon as possible, it may be an infection or some other condition that requires to be treated with medications.
