Your dog’s sudden refusal to eat and intermittent vomiting since yesterday could be a sign of an underlying health issue that might need veterinary attention.
- Vomiting and loss of appetite can indicate an underlying problem.
- Persistent symptoms can lead to dehydration and further complications.
- It's better to consult a vet early to address potential issues promptly.
Dogs can occasionally experience stomach upset for minor reasons, but when vomiting is persistent and accompanied by a refusal to eat, it’s important to consider the possibility of more serious issues such as infections, foreign body ingestion, or gastrointestinal disorders. Monitoring your dog closely and seeking a vet’s advice can help ensure her health and safety.
If this is an emergency, please seek immediate veterinary care.
