My dog is shivering, groggy, and vomiting. When should I see a vet?

Updated On September 23rd, 2025

Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed | Female | spayed | 7 years and 10 months old | 35 lbs

I just asked about Nessa shivering/shaking and seeming groggy, I also forgot to mention, she vomited a little this morning also. Does this change the urgency of her possible condition??

That does make things a bit concerning, but I can give you a home remedy for Nessa to see if that helps. Feed her a bland diet of boiled white meat chicken (no bones) and white rice in small amounts several times a day for a couple of days. Then slowly add back in her normal diet. If she refuses to eat the bland diet, she vomits the bland diet, develops diarrhea, stops drinking water, starts vomiting water, or becomes very lethargic, she will need to see a vet right away.
