Hi, my dog is very sick and not as active as he used to be, he is also vomiting nearly once a day, the, the color is a yellow -ish orange color and very thick. This happened a few days ago when we had a night walk around 8:30pm at night, and in HK we have a lot of flyes and mosquito around so people put bug repels on the plants, I saw my dog go near some plants and I not sure if he ate them. I am very worried about him and please reply ASAP.

These signs could be compatible with an inflammation infection of the gastrointestinal system and surrounding organs (like pancreas and liver). From what you are describing, intoxication is possible. A clinical examination at your local veterinarian is immediately essential to confirm these clinical suspicions and treat appropriately. Antibiotics and possibly further investigations (like abdominal imaging as ultrasound or radiographs) may be needed.
