My old dog Murphy can not poop, he has not eaten and he has only drank a few sips, then threw up a few minutes later. Pretty much only water came out. He has also puked other times today.

Vomiting and constipation could be caused by parasites, change in diet, toxin ingestion, infectious viral diseases, blockage in the gastrointestinal tract caused by ingestion of a foreign body, or a mass/growth in the gastrointestinal tract. Please have Murphy seen by a veterinarian as soon as possible, as constipation and vomiting can be a sign of a more serious issue. I recommend taking in fecal samples from Murphy to your vet as well, as that may aid them in making a diagnosis. Good luck!
