Dog ate coconut oil, vomiting. Should I go to emergency vet?

Question

My 6mo. old basset hound got into a bottle of fractionated coconut oil and ingested it. He is now vomitting every twenty minutes or so, give or take, and shaking. He is asleep now, but I'm debating on whether I need to take him to an emergency vet or if this is something that will pass.

You have all my simpathy as I have a naughty Basset Hound too. Coconut oil is very rich in fat, so I would suggest that you have him checked over as he could be developing pancreatitis . Best sooner rather than later.
