Pet's info: Dog | Australian Shepherd | Male | neutered | 1 year old | 40 lbs

My 1 year old Australian Shepherd has not eaten in 24 hours. He has not had a bowel movement that I am aware of in 24 hours. When I take him to use the restroom he just eats grass, and he vomited this morning. He is drinking some water and urinating. What do I need to do to help him out?

It's concerning that Luke has not eaten in 24 hours. Try offering him a bland diet of boiled white meat chicken and white rice in small amounts. If he refuses to eat this, have him seen by a vet immediately.
