My dog is weak, vomiting, and unresponsive. Is this an emergency?

Question

I have a Japanese spitz and he ate a bit much yesterday and he puked a lot today morning, the food was undigested and now he is very weak and can't even stand or sit. He won't respond and he drank a lot of water. His heart beat is abt 110-130, his gums are pink-ish and he is breathing frantically. We took him from the streets so his age is unknown bt he's been with us for 6 yrs and has recently had fleas we used a powder named notix-p by petcare. He was trimmed to apply the medication. Help!!!! Pet's info: Dog | Japanese Spitz | Male | unneutered | 44 lbs

Your pet Tinku is in critical condition right now based on your description. Poor guy. A severe reaction to the medicaitons is possible or another internal unrelated illness. He needs bloodwork analysis and possible radiographs to diagnose the underlying problem so that we know how best to help his condition. There is unfortunately nothing you can do at home to help a pet that is this ill and unstable. He needs to be seen right away. His vitals sound good for now, but his extreme lethargy means that his cardiovascular system has been affected and this can progress quickly. I hope that your pet Tinku is able to see a vet right away to hopefully make a full recovery. Best wishes and take care.
