Exclamation Help i think i might have a problem

Im not sure if i should panic but my Clyde is sick. He ate dinner about 5:00 and was fine his normal hyper self about 7:30 i took him in the yard for his normal walk around the yard and his stole was like water. Ok that happens but 10 minutes after we came in he wanted out and again same thing but only a little bit came out. After about 20 minutes he had to go out again and same thing. Now im starting to worry!!! He came in and layed down for a few the got up ran around the table so i let him out and he didnt make 5 feet and threw up everything. Now he is laying here not wanting to move and shaking a bit i have given him water. I plan on having him at the vet in the morning first thing. I just started to change his food from natures choice to diamond but had just put a very little of new for him. Sorry my question is do you all think maybe its the food or blockage or bloat. i have to many things going through my mind now

I would take him down to the emergency 24 hour vet- throwing up was a sign my vet told me to look for in case of an emergency when it accompanies loose stool. He might need an IV to stay hydrated... hope all works out.

they might allow you to work out a payment plan! If its bloat- you wont be able to wait until the morning. My understanding is that it kills fast- maybe one of the vets on the board can chime in....

My sister took her dog to them once 1) they made her pay $600. just for the vet to look at her dog 2) he vet miss diagnosed the dog and really all he did was charge her and tell her to talk the dog to her normal vet the next day. 3) after every thing he was just like oh sorry. It didnt leave me with a lot of confidence in him at all

Doesn't your regular vet do emergencies for clients? Mine does. If it is something above and beyond what she has the equipment for THEN she will send me to the ER vet. For people that cannot afford the daily charge of monitoring at the ER vet she will take client dogs home and watch them as well.
That said, every time I have had to use the ER vet I paid half up front, in cash. My last emergency in April the bill was $1600, and we put $800 down the night we came in.
Some vets do have an "angel fund" of clients that donate to the clinic for people that cannot afford emergencies. The sad fact is though, vets cannot operate without funds. ER clinics are so expensive because they pay multiple staff members 24-7.
I hope your puppy is safe through the night. It's better that they are actually passing things from both ends than not having anything at all. You could go to the store and get some pedialyte and oral syringe it to the puppy as water sometimes is not enough. Also, get a thermometer and take the puppy's temperature. If there's fever (generally 102 or above) a cool wash rag on the belly and rubbing alcohol on the foot pads will help to break it.

Its 7:00 inthe morninig now and he is doing good gave him water on and off all last night. After a while he would get up if coached then he would get up on his own to go out. i gave him just a handfull of kibble since he was trying to eat my other puppy. he heading to the vet here in a bit. If you look at him this morning you would never think anything. Yes i know you cant tell by that. One thing i need now i know is insurance for them then it wont be a problem i hope.
