Why is my dog's belly gurgling with vomiting, diarrhea, and pacing?

Question

My black lab/German Shepherd mix has been having belly issues. His belly makes loud gurgling noises and he’s puking and has diarrhea. He won’t sit still and he keeps walking around stretching his back legs however when I rub his back legs/hips it doesn’t hurt him. I did it to just check and see if that was the problem. Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed Large (61lb +) | Male | neutered | 4 years and 4 months old | 70 lbs

I'm sorry to hear about Shadow! The stretching and pacing is a sign of abdominal pain. This could be something as simple as gastroenteritis (inflammation of the stomach and intestines) caused by eating something naughty. This may be especially true if he only vomited a few times and has since stopped. However, this could also be something very serious such as pancreatitis or an intestinal blockage (especially worrisome if he is known to eat toys, socks, rocks, or other non-food items). If he is not fully vaccinated, parvovirus is also a life-threatening possibility. Because of these possibilities, I strongly recommend you see your vet. This is especially true if the vomiting has lasted for more than a few hours or is very frequent. I hope this helps! Best of luck to you and Shadow!
