My dog is shaking, vomiting, and gurgling. Should I see a vet?

Question

My dog started shaking a couple hours ago. He asked to go outside and then threw up twice. Since he’s been shaking and acting like he doesn’t feel well. He will still eat and drink. I have heard his stomach making some gurgling noises, almost sounds like gas but it doesn’t appear bloated and doesn’t feel hard. Should I wait to see if he feels better or take him in? Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed Small (up to 22lb) | Male | neutered | 4 years and 10 months old | 17 lbs

Poor guy. I would be cautious here and take him in to your local vet right away if this has been going on for more than 30 mins-1 hr or if he is lethargic. A number of things could be going on here such as a toxin ingestion, severe stomach upset episodes or an underlying disease such as Addison's disease. Check his gum color immediately and if you notice pale gums then he should be seen right away as well. I do hope that this is just a stomach upset and that he starts to improve over the next hour. If he does seem to calm down, then you should definitely fast him for the next 12 hrs (water only), then you should feed him a bland diet of boiled plain chicken or lean ground turkey and white rice for the next few days to help settle his stomach. I hope that Finn's stomach calms down soon so that you don't have to get him seen. Best of luck moving forward. Take care! : )
