My dog is vomiting, has diarrhea, lethargic, breathing hard. ER vet?

My dog is secreting a huge amount of liquid from his anus, has been vomiting water, is extremely lethargic, and breathing heavily. Should I go to the emergency vet with him? I don’t know what to do. Pet's info: Dog | Poodle | Male | unneutered | 1 year and 3 months old | 75 lbs

Hello, and thank you for your question. It sounds like Star is severely ill, and I would definitely recommend taking him to the emergency vet tonight. The diarrhea and vomiting has likely contributed to dehydration and subsequent lethargy, and this needs to be corrected as soon as possible at the vet, as he will most certainly continue to worsen otherwise. Possible causes include toxin ingestion, foreign body ingestion, gastroenteritis, or pancreatitis. The vet can perform tests to determine the cause of his illness, such as blood work, x-rays or ultrasound, while they continue to stabilize him. I hope this helps, and that Star feels better soon!
