My dog is throwing up, lethargic, and yelping. When to see a vet?

Question

my dachshund has been consistently throwing up. So I put him on a chicken and rice diet and have given him some pedialyte and seemed to keep it down for the day. Then he threw up again this morning and refusing to eat anything. He's pooping and urinating fine. He wasn't acting lathargic until today and then started yelping randomly within the last hour but isn't walking like he's hurt? Do I need to go to the vet like now or should I try to wait?

I would recommend taking him to the veterinarian now. My concern is that Pepper has been vomiting for what sounds like awhile and is now lethargic and yelping. This may be pancreatitis, this can be a foreign body or it may just be a simple gastrointestinal upset. If it is something more serious it should be treated sooner than later. I hope Pepper feels better soon.
