My dog threw up and won't eat after playing. Should I see a vet?

Question

Hi! My dog was running around playing yesterday and at the end of playing he was walking kind of wobbly/not straight and kind of almost dragging his legs. Later on that night he threw up and he did again this morning and won’t eat his food. He’s walking fine and everything now so it’s not his legs or whatever, I’m just worried about him not eating/throwing up and what a vet would recommend I do.

ANy abrupt change in behavior or attitude or sudden symptoms should be checked by your vet. He may have overworked himself and was simply tired, but that still doesn't explain the vomiting. Deep-chested dogs like German Shepherds can have their stomach flip over onto itself when playing, especially after a meal. I would get him to see your vet today to make sure there isn't anything serious going on, and if there is, to get on top of it so it can be treated right away.
