My dog has diarrhea, vomiting, and shaking. Should I see a vet?

Question

My 4 year old rescue has had diarrhea for 2 days but was eating and drinking and acting normal. Tonight she vomited a couple pieces of her bone and has vomited mucus 4 times since. I see no blood in her stool or vomit. She was shaking on and off tonight as well, I don't know if that means she had a fever or not. I tried to offer her some water and a spoonful of honey and she didn't want either one. She seemed to be resting now but don't know if she's getting better or it's the calmbeforethestorm. Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed | Female | spayed | 4 years and 4 months old

It sounds as Star is suffering from a gastrointestinal condition, possibly an infection. it could also be due to ingestion of a foreign body material. i would recommend taking her to the vet the first chance you get, she will need to be checked first, if the vet thinks it's a simple gastrointestinal infection she will need an anti vomiting injection, antibiotics and a special food for a few days in order to get better. if the vet thinks it is more serious she will need a blood test and possibly an ultrasound in order to find out what is wrong.
