My dog threw up grass-like vomit, no grass. Lazy 3 days. Vet needed?

Question

My dog threw up yesterday. It looked like she threw up grass,but we dont have grass. And she has been very lazy. Including today 3 days. What can we do to help her? Do we need to take her to the vet or can this be taken care of at home? Pet's info: Dog | Chihuahua | Female | unspayed | 1 year old | 10 lbs

Hello and welcome to Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach. Lethargy (weakness and not moving/being lazy) for 3 days, and vomiting up something from a few days ago (if you don't have grass, when did she last access grass?) is very concerning for either an obstruction or blockage of the gut, or a severe gastritis. Also, since Chihuahuas are so small, they get dehydrated very quickly and can get very very sick just from dehydration. I would recommend going to your vet right away. They will likely do bloodwork and x-rays and will let you know if Lucy needs to stay in hospital for IV fluids, and possible surgery. Best of luck with Lucy, I hope she feels better soon!
