My dog ate grease, had diarrhea, now not pooping. Vet or wait?

Question

I think my dog may have been eating grease in dirty from my husband cooking outside. She didn’t eat yesterday but had diarrhea and today she has not pooped at all but ate her food and has little water. Should I take her to the vet or wait and see how she is tomorrow?

If she isn't vomiting and she just had diarrhea yesterday Iw ould say it is ok to wait until morning. If she starts vomiting, becomes lethargic or has bloody diarrhea overnight then I would recommend taking Goldie to an emergency veterinarian. I have seen dogs get pancreatitis from eating the grease outside so be careful. Thank you for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach.
