There is a LONG list of things that can cause this.
The dog needs to see a vet. Shaking is often a sign of pain.
Possibly a poisoning… make a vet appointment as soon as possible.
********************Causes of Vomiting ***********************
There are too many causes of vomiting to list here. However the article will look at a few of the more interesting causes and solutions:
~~Swallowed ‘foreign bodies’ can be anything from a sock or child’s toy. Many smaller foreign bodies will cause initial vomiting but then pass on their own accord. However, they occasionally become lodged and become a surgical emergency. If your pet is vomiting regularly (several times per day) and not passing faeces, there could be an intestinal blockage and you should visit your veterinarian.
~~Parasitism is divided into Roundworm and Tapeworm categories. The former is often incriminated in causing partial intestinal blockages, especially in puppies and kittens. If you have not wormed your dog or cat in the past 3 months it may be worth doing so with Endorid and Droncit. We suggest that you read the articles on Roundworms and Tapeworms
~~Dietary problems are a common cause of vomiting whether they are primary (over eating, gorging, too rich, too fatty food) or secondary to some other cause of vomiting (such as a gastric infection). If your dog has a delicate stomach we would suggest a low fat, easily digested, medium protein diet fed in several small portions over the day. Hills Canine d/d or Hills Canine i/d diet ranges are very effective.
~~Metabolic diseases such as kidney disease, liver disease, sepsis, changes in mineral balance can all lead to vomiting. They usually present with other symptoms as well and will need veterinary attention.
Poisons. It depends on the type of poison. If known consult your vet.
~~Infections of the stomach (gastritis) often also effect the upper intestine so that your dog may also present with diarrhoea. Certain infections such as Salmonella may also affect yourself. Use gloves when handling vomit and faeces and wash well afterwards with an antiseptic solution. Most infections are self limiting after a couple of days when the body’s immunity overcomes the bacteria or virus.
~~Gastric ulcers occur in dogs, there are certain similarities to as in humans with evidence of Helicobacter infection being present in many ulcers. Initial diet changes may be all that is required in the initial instance. However if your pet vomits blood on several occasions and / or black, tar like faeces (digested blood is present) are passed we would recommend a rapid trip to the veterinarian.
****************A major emergency in dogs is gastric dilatation and torsion syndrome. This usually occurs in ‘deep chested’ breeds such as German Shepherds and presents as an acute onset condition with a dog trying to vomit but only producing phlegm, not food. This is an ACUTE emergency and immediate surgical care is required.*********************
****************Certain intestinal conditions such as colitis may cause vomiting. Other symptoms such as mucoid, diarrhoea will also be present.*************************
Get her to the Vet ASAP. This is not good. It could be a sign of Parvo or even seizures. Call the vet and get her there now.
Please get to your vet, right now.
dont feed her for at least 12 hours. she probably had something bad to eat and the shaking is likely wretching because shes already thrown everything up. once, when my dog was a few months old, he threw up for a few hours straight, a dozen and possibly more times. it scared the hell otu of me.
and of course, this sounds serious, so i would at least call the vet.
And you’re waiting for what reason? She has been poisoned, get her to the vet NOW. Get OFF the computer and go.
happen to one of my dogs take to the vet now sounds like poison
Please take the animal to the VET right away, as something seems to be very wrong?
If you are living in snow country I wonder if your dog was licking some anti freeze from the car on the driveway or off the garage floor.
Or did the animal get a hold a rodent poison?
Anyway, this is urgent, so call the VET now.
Get your dog to the vet!!!!!!!!!
Some poisons will cause that, and your dog got into something vicious!
