Your dog's sudden vomiting and lethargy are concerning and may be related. It's important to monitor her closely for any worsening symptoms.
- Watch for additional symptoms like diarrhea or refusal to eat.
- Ensure she has access to fresh water to stay hydrated.
- Consider seeking veterinary care if she doesn’t improve.
Sometimes vomiting can lead to dehydration and lethargy if it's severe or persistent. If she vomited only once and isn't showing signs of distress, you might monitor her at home for a short period. However, given her lethargy, it is wise to err on the side of caution and get her checked by a vet.
If this is an emergency, please seek immediate veterinary care.
