My Yorkie is throwing up orange, weak, shaking, and head bobbling. What's wrong?

Question

Hey I’m having some issues, my dog threw up orange chunks once and the second time orange and red chunks. He seems to be limping but is very weak and sleepy. He is a one year old Yorkie. Also, he is shaking a lot and his head bobbles when he lifts it up. What should I do?

Thank you for submitting your question regarding your dog. I am sorry to hear that he has not been feeling well. If he is very weak and lethargic, I recommend seeking emergency veterinary care this evening. While there are numerous causes of vomiting in young dogs, pancreatitis is common in his breed. This is a potentially serious condition that causes inflammation of the pancreas resulting vomiting and diarrhea. It can leave a small dog dehydrated very quickly. Try to offer him very small frequent amounts of water and have him seen as soon as possible. I hope this information helps.
