Hi, Over the last 2 days my dog has been throwing up and is very lethargic. Today he had diarrhea and I can constantly hear his stomach gurgling, he also doesn’t have an appetite. Today my other dog started throwing up and is lethargic. Is this something that could pass or should I be taking them to the vet? Thanks, Nick

Hi Nick! I would definitely take them both into a vet now. It's quite concerning your dog has been throwing up and is lethargic for two days, and now has diarrhea and no appetite. It's also concerning that your other dog is developing those symptoms. Please take them both into a vet immediately. Best of luck.
