Dog ate blanket, vomiting strings, weak: What should I do before vet?

Question

My son has a Great Dane 3-4 yrs old. She had chewed up her blanket that was in her bed, swallowing ALOT! She started throwing up tonight refused to eat, or drink. But is very weak also. He is giving her Pedialyte, but she is also throwing it up. Hes waiting on vet to open at 7 am. There's no vet within many miles of his army base that is open at night. Her abdomen isn't bloated. But she has threw up a large amount of strings from the blanket (ALOT)!!! CAN YOU GIVE ME ANY INFORMATION? Pet's info: Dog | Great Dane | Female | unspayed | 150 lbs

Hello and thank you for reaching out to Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach. I'm sorry to hear that Breah is vomiting so much. It is possible that she has an intestinal obstruction or blockage from eating parts of her blanket. This is usually diagnosed with x-rays of the abdomen, and an intestinal obstruction is a surgical emergency. If he absolutely cannot get her to a veterinarian until 7am, I recommend not feeding her any food in the meantime. She can have access to water, however she may vomit this up. Please have her seen as soon as possible! I hope this is helpful - best of luck!
