Why are you asking your question here on a Yahoo board instead of taking your dog to the VET if this is such an "emergency"??
Don't give your dog ANY medicine without seeing your vet first. Many human medicines are toxic to pets.
As for the vomiting, there are many causes for that ranging from "garbagitis" to viruses to cancer. No (ethical) vet can tell you what's going on or offer appropriate treatment without seeing your dog, so go to a vet-- not a message board.

Hi , Just wanted to say that Humen medicines are given to dogs and cats everyday by vets, If you dog is vomiting and has direah giving him some pepto bismol will help. When i first got my beagle pups they had diareh, usuallt commen when they change foods and homes, i gave them pepto and it helped. I would call vet in the morning also. Check and see if his nose is warm and dry, if so he has a virus. Make sure that he gets plenty of water. If he isnt drinking water i would definatly take him to see someone asap. N/M the rude people that get a kick out of being hateful. Take care and i hope that he is better soon.

He should be fine but just incase you may want to make an appointment to the vet tomorrow. Once my dog vomited like 20 times. (im not joking) and some of it was blood. He needed to get fluids injected into him that night.

Two of my dogs have died from Parvovirus. They threw up a lot and they pooped blood. Here's some information:
Parvovirus
Canine Parvovirus ("Parvo") is a viral disease of dogs. It affects puppies much more frequently than it affects adult dogs. The virus likes to grow in rapidly dividing cells. The intestinal lining has the biggest concentration of rapidly dividing cells in a puppy's body. The virus attacks and kills these cells, causing diarrhea (often bloody), depression and suppression of white blood cells -- which come from another group of rapidly dividing cells. In very young puppies it can infect the heart muscle and lead to "sudden" death. (See A Concise Review of Veterinary Virology: Parvoviridae, Carter G.R., Wise D.J. and Flores E.F. (Eds.). International Veterinary Information Service, Ithaca NY (www.ivis.org), 8-Apr-2005; A3409.0405.)
What are the symptoms of Parvo?
"Parvo" is a virus that attacks the lining of the digestive system. It causes dogs and puppies to not be able to absorb nutrients or liquids. Puppies are especially prone to it because they have an immature immune system. When dogs and puppies contract parvo, they often have diarrhea, vomiting and lethargy. Usually they stop eating and develop a bloody, foul-smelling, liquid stool.
Symptoms usually begin with a high fever, lethargy, depression, and loss of appetite. Secondary symptoms appear as severe gastrointestinal distress, such as vomiting and bloody diarrhea. In many cases, dehydration, shock, and death follow.
Parvovirus is characterized by severe, bloody diarrhea and vomiting, high fever and lethargy. The diarrhea is particularly foul smelling and is sometimes yellow in color. Parvo can also attack a dog's heart causing congestive heart failure. This complication can occur months or years after an apparent recovery from the intestinal form of the disease. Puppies who survive parvo infection usually remain somewhat unhealthy and weak for life.
If you suspect your puppy or dog has Parvo, or has been exposed to it, contact your veterinarian immediately. A clinical evaluation and diagnosis by a qualified veterinary professional, including the standard CITE test for Parvo, will determine if your dog does indeed have Parvo and requires urgent veterinary intervention and care.
IF YOU THINK YOUR PUPPY MAY HAVE PARVO, GET HIM TO THE VET AS SOON AS POSSIBLE! FOR MY DOGS, BY THE TIME WE SAW THE SYMPTOMS, IT WAS ALREADY TOO LATE. BUT THERE IS HOPE: MY COUSIN'S DOG HAD PARVO AND THEY LEFT HER IN THE VET OVER NIGHT AND SHE DOING GREAT!

If you have a vet, which you should as a pet owner, then call him/her to find out what they want you to do. Don't play around with your pets health. I am a firm beleiver in vets. I have 7 dogs and 1 cat.

STOP WHAT YOU'RE DOING RIGHT NOW AND GET THAT POOR THING TO THE VET! EVEN IF IT ISN'T SERIOUS DON'T MESS WITH THIS KIND OF STUFF! Hang in there,and don't give him any medicine, he may be allergic to it. Hugs for you and kisses for your dog,hope he gets better soon!!

i am not a vet, but was a dog owner for most of my life. i think i would call my vet in the am and get him to check him out. he may very well be ok, but he can't tell you him self. the vet will be able to tell you.

Make an appointment tomorrow. Let the dog rest until then. If it gets worse and starts again...then you may want to make an emergency visit.

Give him some pepto bismal and watch him. If he continues to throw up take him to the vet. Maybe he just ate something he wasn't supposed to. Watch the red dot on his pp.

If i were you i would take him to the vet. He may just have an infection or something but you never know unless you get it checked out, it may be something worse
