My dog threw up, now restless & uncomfortable. Should I see a vet?

Updated On September 23rd, 2025

Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed Large (61lb +) | Female | unspayed | 65 lbs

My dog was throwing up and gagging a couple days ago and seemed to get better but I’ve notice she can’t seem to get comfortable getting in and out of bed, hasn’t gotten much sleep throughout the night, and just not herself. Should I be worried or take her to a vet?

It sounds as Shiloh 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 her to the vet the first chance you get, she will need to be checked first, if the vet thinks it's a simple gastrointestinal infection she will need an anti vomiting injection, antibiotics and a special food for a few days in order to get better. if the vet thinks it is more serious she will need a blood test and possibly an ultrasound in order to find out what is wrong.
