Pet's info: Dog | Staffordshire Bull Terrier | Male | neutered | 12 years old | 45 lbs

My 12 year old staffy has been vomiting for 2 days and he hasn’t ate any food, he also has diarrhoea. He is crying occasionally when moving around the garden. Should I call an emergency vet or leave him until tomorrow morning? He has been drinking water for the last 2 days.

Hello, sorry to hear about Max. If max has vomited more than 4 times in one day or has developed Frank blood diarrhea, or if he is severely lethargic then he should be seen tonight as he could be very dehydrated. If he is otherwise stable and has some lethargy but is still acting somewhat like his normal self, then he can likely wait until the morning.
