Both my dogs are vomiting and have diarrhea. When should I see a vet?

Question

We have two dogs. One dog, Gracie, has been vomiting, having diarrhea, chills, loss of appetite, increased excitement at some points, and increased sadness at certain points. The other dog, Beau, has only vomited and had diarrhea. This has been going on for about two days. We just want to know if we should send the vet or we should just wait it out. Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed Medium (23 - 60lb) | Female | spayed | 3 years and 7 months old | 27 lbs

Thank you for submitting your question regarding Gracie and Beau. If they are both are exhibiting similar symptoms, I worry that they have something infectious. They may require fecal testing and medication to clear up their symptoms. I worry that they may become dehydrated as well with losing fluid in the both the vomit and the diarrhea. I would encourage them to drink frequent small amounts of water. It is generally safe to withhold food for 18-24 hours in a effort to rest the gastrointestinal tract. This may help alleviate the symptoms. I hope this information helps!
