My puppy is vomiting, shaking, and won't eat. Should I call the vet?

Question

My 6 month old beagle has been vomiting and shaking since the early hours of the morning. He is now hiding under the bed and didnt want to eat this morning. The dog, Stuart, is not at all himself today. My husband thinks Stuart will be fine but I am worried! Does he need to be seen by the vet? Pet's info: Dog | Beagle | Male | unneutered | 5 months and 1 day old | 20 lbs

Hello, I am sorry to hear about Stuart. It sounds like Stuart is not feeling well at all. Shaking is a nonspecific sign in dogs but could be a sign of discomfort/pain. Vomiting and lack of appetite could be signs of a problem within the GI tract, such as ingestion of foreign material or garbage, or possibly a sign of an infectious disease. It could also be a sign of a problem outside the GI tract such as liver/kidney disease or pancreatitis. As Stuart is still a young puppy with any vomiting or lack of appetite they can have a challenging time maintaining their blood sugar and temperature so I would strongly urge you to have him seen by a veterinarian as soon as possible. Hope this helps, good luck!
