Hi there, my dog Molly who is 11 years old has been throwing up at least twice a day the last 3 days. She is constipted and cannot poo. She’s waking me up at night to go outside to the bathroom. She is lathargic and lays in bed all day, not normal for her. Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed Medium (23 - 60lb) | Female | spayed | 11 years and 5 months old | 33 lbs

Poor Molly! Vomiting for three days is very concerning. If she's constipated and hasn't been able to poop, it's possible that she may have an intestinal blockage. This sounds like quite a severe problem, so I would recommend taking her to the vet today to be seen. Your veterinarian can examine her and take some x-rays if needed to help determine why she can't poop, and will advise you on what kind of treatment is needed depending on what is found.

Poor Molly! If she has vomited multiple times today, is having bloody diarrhea, not interested in food, and you feel that her gums look paler than normal to you, this is very concerning and warrants a vet visit today. I would recommend taking her to your closest emergency clinic today to be seen. These symptoms could be caused by a number of different things, so it's hard to say what might be wrong without being able to examine her and run some tests. Some possible causes would include a systemic illness such as liver or kidney disease, a serious GI problem such as pancreatitis or an intestinal blockage, a uterine infection called pyometra which can be life-threatening (if she is not spayed, as indicated in your "pet info" section above), or ingestion of something toxic. The ER veterinarian can do blood work, x-rays, or other testing if needed to help diagnose the problem and see what kind of treatment is needed. If you're not sure where to go, try calling your regular vet's office - their voicemail message should have contact information for your nearest ER or an on-call doctor for emergencies.
