My dog is throwing up and won't eat or drink. Is a vet visit needed?

Thank you for submitting your question regarding your dog. No, this is not normal. I recommend having her seen by her veterinarian today. It is best to determine why she is vomiting and refusing food. From there, proper treatment can be started. I worry that she will become dehydrated if she is not already. In this case, she will needs fluids to help her feel better. Good luck!

It is concerning that Winnie isn't drinking water but it's good that she is eating, urinating, and pooping. Based on that, I wouldn't rush her into an ER today, but definitely have her seen by a vet tomorrow if she still isn't drinking on her own. Keep giving her water via syringe, and take her into the ER vet if she stops eating, becomes very lethargic, stops urinating, or stops pooping.

Poor girl. Unfortunately my major concern here is that Winnie may have a foreign body. I would highly recommend fasting her for 6hrs and then offer her a small portion of boiled plain chicken or lean ground turkey and white rice and small amounts of non-flavored Pedialyte to keep her hydrated until you can get her seen by your vet. The vet needs to do a complete physical examination and likely will recommend x-rays if a foreign body ingestion is suspected. Best case scenario is that Winnie has a really upset stomach from something she ingested and not a true obstruction. However, the next best thing is to get her seen by your vet as soon as they are open in the morning. I do hope that Winnie feels better soon! Best of luck and take care

Yes, definitely take Winnie into a vet right away. From your description, it sounds like there is something causing her extreme discomfort and she could have something stuck in her mouth or may have eaten something caustic. I think it's worth rushing her into a vet now, especially since I can't see her in person. I hope this helps, good luck!

Thank you for submitting your question regarding Winston. If he either refuses food or starts vomiting again when he wake up, he will need to see an emergency veterinarian today. He is so young that you do not want to wait long if he is ill. It is very easy for him to become dehydrated. If he seems better when he wakes up, you can monitor him today and follow up with his regular veterinarian. I hope this information helps!

Thank you for submitting your question regarding Mini. I recommend that she sees a veterinarian today. I am worried that she is not eating. This will rapidly lead to dehydration in a small dog. The veterinarian will examine her and determine what may be the cause of her symptoms. She could be painful or be experiencing nausea. From there, treatment and diagnostics can be discussed. I hope this information helps!

Thank you for submitting your question regarding Daisy. She needs to see a veterinarian. There is typically a reason when a do begins to drink excessively. She will likely need to have blood and urine testing. She could have diabetes, kidney disease, liver disease or an adrenal gland disorder or even cancer. Based on these results, treatment can hopefully be started to help her feel better. I hope this information helps!
