Pet's info: Dog | Golden Retriever | Female | spayed | 40 lbs

My friend's Golden Retriever started throwing up out of the blue and can't keep down food or even water and we are all super worried about her, if I could get a response ASAP that'd be great

As Redwing is unable to tolerate water I would recommend making an appointment to see your veterinarian as soon as possible so that they may take a full medical history and perform a full physical examination and provide appropriate medications. They may also suggest performing blood tests or even X-rays.
