My dog ate spicy jerky, vomiting, shivering. Should I see a vet?

Question

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? Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed Medium (23 - 60lb) | Female | spayed | 11 months and 28 days old | 32 lbs

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.
