He’s on an antifungal medication for cryptococcus Should we take him to the emergency vet? Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed Medium (23 - 60lb) | Male | neutered | 2 years and 5 months old | 155 lbs

Yes. I would definitely take him to an emergency clinic immediately. Hemorrhagic gastroenteritis can come on very quickly and dogs can become very sick in a few hours. IV fluid therapy will likely be recommended. Oftentimes this disorder follows a stressful event such as anesthesia. Best of luck and I hope he improves soon. Thank you for using Pet Coach.
