Your dog has been vomiting since yesterday and is eating and drinking less than usual. While some appetite and thirst are good signs, persistent vomiting could indicate a health issue that requires attention.
- Vomiting in dogs can be caused by various factors, including diet changes, infections, or more serious conditions.
- Observe if your dog is lethargic, dehydrated, or experiencing other symptoms.
- If symptoms persist or worsen, it's best to seek veterinary care promptly.
It's understandable to be concerned when your pet is unwell. Vomiting can result from minor issues or more serious underlying problems. Since your dog is still somewhat interested in food and water, it may not be an immediate emergency. However, it's important to monitor for any additional symptoms such as lethargy, diarrhea, or if the vomiting doesn't stop.
If this is an emergency, please seek immediate veterinary care.
