Yes, I think Dougie should definitely go into the vet today. Anytime they are throwing up repeatedly and having diarrhea, it's best to have them seen. The doctor will preform a thorough physical exam and ask you many questions about his history. They will then recommend appropriate diagnostics. I hope he starts feeling better quickly!
