My dog vomited, lethargic, won't eat after eating trash. ER?

Question

Cymka puked this morning, had 2 nectarine pit in it - she got into the trash on Wed, so that must be why. She's pooping fine and drinking but refused breakfast (first time in her life refusing food, she is a food dog!). She seems to be stretching a lot while laying in her bed this morning. Should I take her to the ER? Definitely lethargic too. Pet's info: Dog | Labrador Retriever | Female | spayed | 11 years and 3 months old | 65 lbs

Hi and thank you for posting your question on Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! It sounds like getting into the trash the other day and eating food from the garage she should not have eaten may be causing stomach upset and disinterest in eating her normal food. If she is lethargic and not herself, then I would take her into a veterinary hospital as soon as possible. She may have ingested something toxic in the garage like chocolate, onions, grapes, garlic or other toxin that could have made her sick. Another possibility may be eating items with lots of sugar and fat in them which can cause pancreatitis which can be very painful and could explain the lack of appetite. Another possibility is eating items like nectarine pits or other chunky solid food items may have caused an obstruction in her intestines. She is likely stretching frequently perhaps because she is in some discomfort in abdominal area and she may be trying to get some relief. My best advice to you is to take her in as soon as possible. I hope this has helped and I wish you and Cymkia the absolute best!
