My young puppy is sick, not eating, vomiting. Should I go to emergency vet?

Updated on September 23rd, 2025

Pet's info: Dog | Pug | Male | unneutered | 1 month and 22 days old | 2.5 lbs

Puppy pug started to get uncomfortable last night, won’t eat or drink today, slightly shivering and lethargic. Has gone in hot weather then cool in house. Bowel movement was fine this morning and just vomited water and now is sleeping with no shaking...keeping warm. Thinking weather change made his stomachs upset or was bit by something. Should I see how he does later before going to emergency since it is the holiday? Our vet is closed. He hasn’t been exposed to anything in the house or animals

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!
