My Pomeranian is throwing up. Does she need an emergency vet now?

Updated on September 23rd, 2025

Pet's info: Dog | Pomeranian | Female | unspayed | 1 year old | 4.5 lbs

I have a 1 year old Pomeranian and she woke up and vomited her food up (dark brown, could see food in it) and then has thrown up a couple more times a white foam. She seems discomforted and pooped where she normally doesn’t poop. I am going to take her to the vet first thing in the morning but am trying to figure out if I need to take her now.

Thank you for contacting Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach with your question about Darcy. Poor girl. Signs that you need to take her now include vomiting a lot in a short space of time (i.e. five times in five to 10 minutes), vomiting water, not drinking water, having diarrhea, or being very lethargic. If she doesn't show any of those signs, then you can wait to take her into the vet in the morning. I hope this helps!
