Why is my dog shaking, throwing up yellow, not eating, no energy?

Updated On September 23rd, 2025

Pet's info: Dog | West Highland White Terrier | Male | 8 lbs

My dog is shaking and throwing up yellow liquid ever since about 2pm yesterday. He's barely eating. He has little energy as he didn't want to get out of bed this morning, which is strange for him.

It seems as Wellington is suffering from a gastrointestinal condition, possibly an infection. it could also be due to ingestion of a foreign body material. i would recommend taking him to the vet the first chance you get, he will need to be checked first, if the vet thinks it's a simple gastrointestinal infection he will need an anti vomiting injection, antibiotics and a special food for a few days in order to get better.
