My dog ate some spicy jerky earlier today when I wasn't looking, and now she has been vomiting. She threw up 3 times that I have seen, and drank water but vomited that as well a few minutes later and she has been shivering like shes cold. Should I take her to the vet?

I am sorry to hear about Roxie! It sounds like perhaps the spicy jerky didn't agree with her stomach! I see your question is from 13 hours ago. If Roxie is still vomiting, then I would take her in to your vet. In the future, if she starts vomiting then it is recommended to remove food and water so she takes in nothing orally for 6 to 8 hours. If she continues to vomit despite taking nothing in, time to head to the vet. If she stops vomiting then you can slowly reintroduce small amounts of water at first, then bland food like cooked white rice and boiled shredded chicken breast in small amounts. If vomiting restarts, then she needs to see the vet. If at any point she seemed painful, very lethargic, or vomits blood then these would also be reasons to seek veterinary care ASAP.

Poor Roxie. She is very cute. Feed her a bland diet of boiled white meat chicken (no bones) and white rice in small amounts several times a day for a couple of days. Then slowly add back in her normal diet. If she vomits the bland diet, develops diarrhea, stops drinking water, starts vomiting water, or becomes very lethargic, she will need to see a vet right away. Best of luck.
