so i took my dog to the vet for yeast infection in his ears 2 days later he was not eating, vomiting and runny poop my other 2 dogs got the same thing a day ago. The first dog is better but kia is still vomiting the vet put her on metronidazole 250mg but now i noticed her lifting up her left back leg up should i be taking her to the emergency or can i take her to the vet in the morning also could this be bad dog food as we opened a new bag but same type of food or could it be the dog flu thanks

Poor Prints! I do get concerned when a dog can't keep down water, and in my opinion, that does warrant a visit to the ER vet. Not being able to keep down water when a dog is already sick and off food can quickly lead to dehydration. I do think taking Prints into the vet is best. She will likely need a shot to stop the vomiting, may need IV fluids, and any other treatment the vet deems necessary depending on the case of her vomiting (i.e. GI illness, pancreatitis, a foreign body, or eating something rotten).
