My dalmatian Jack Russell mix will not eat and has lots of foul smelling gas... It's been about two days since he ate his kibble. What should I do?

I would have Jake seen by a vet today for this. It is concerning that he hasn't eaten in two days, and this foul smelling gas could be caused by a foreign body or eating something spoiled. The vet can diagnose what is causing his symptoms so he can be treated. Please take Jake into a vet today.
