Dog vomiting & diarrhea after eating garbage. When to see vet?

Question

My dog threw up twice and has had diarrhea for 2 days now. Im thinking it might have to do with him getting into the garbage the other day, but I'm not sure and im worried about him. What can I do to help him? When should I take him to the vet? Pet's info: Dog | Jack Russell Terrier | Male | neutered | 14 years old | 20 lbs

It sounds as Harley is suffering from a gastrointestinal condition, possibly an infection. it could also be due to ingestion of a foreign body material. i would recommend taking him to the vet the first chance you get, he will need to be checked first, if the vet thinks it's a simple gastrointestinal infection he will need an anti vomiting injection, antibiotics and a special food for a few days in order to get better.
