My dog is vomiting, lethargic, and doing downward dog. Vet emergency?

Question

My 2 yr old Vizsla/Dobe mix (who loves to eat and is on the excitable side of life) has been vomiting for 24 hrs, slowed in the last 8 of 24, shows no interest in food (very unusual!), shaking in abdomen and rear legs and extreme lethargy, assuming strange “stretching” positions for long periods of time (downward dog for 5+ minutes). He has had Gauirdia in the past, treated, and many bouts of upset stomach. This is very different and concerning. Emergency vet time??!! Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed Large (61lb +) | Male | 2 years and 11 months old | 72 lbs

Hi, thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! Poor Marvin! Sadly I agree! If Marvin is going in the prayer position (downward dog) that indicates abdominal pain. With vomiting that makes me worried about a foreign body or pancreatitis. Very bad gas can cause abdominal pain. I would take him in for X-rays and blood work. I hope this helps and wish Marvin the best!
