This afternoon, my dog vomited, and now he's trembling uncontrollably. I'm really worried because the shaking doesn't seem to stop. Could this be just a temporary reaction, or is this a sign that something more serious is going on? Should I be panicking or can it wait a little longer before seeing a vet?
