Why is my dog straining to poop, vomiting, and can't keep water down?

Question

My 7 year old female mastiff mix has been having trouble pooping (only a small amount in the last 20 hours). She has tried many times. She has not been able to keep water down since last night either. She still wants to eat a little food and of course dog biscuits. She keeps solids down. Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed Large (61lb +) | Female | spayed | 6 years and 11 months old | 100 lbs

It sounds like Ellie could have diarrhea and that's why she's straining. She could also be constipated but it's not common in dogs. Since she's also vomiting I recommend taking Ellie to the vet to find the cause. They can check for constipation or diarrhea and treat the cause. Good luck and kisses to Ellie!
