there are numerous reasons why she could be throwing up. If she was outside and ate grass she would be throwing up clear, slightly foamy stuff. If she has gotten into something dangerous she may be very lathargeck. she will lay there, not want to get up, dull look to her eyes, . . . . Her breed really doesn't have much to do with it.

In places where there is no 24/7 animal clinic, the vet clinics after after hours numbers.

I live in a rural area, no vet is open 24/7 without driving for awhile, much less on a Saturday afternoon. Everyone of them has an after hours number. And they will meet you at the vet clinic when you call.

If the after hours number for your clinic isn't listed in the phone book, call the regular number, their answering machines will generally give you the after hours number.

If your dog is vomiting like you say she is, she runs the very high risk of dehydration. That is only going to make any other problems worse. She can't wait until Monday to see a vet, and no answer here is going to subsitute proper vet care.

Most vet offices have emergency hours or a vet on call. You may want to make that call and see what services are available to you and your pooch. Because of the vomiting, your pet may be becoming dehydrated. Trying letting her have ice cubes, she will like the water off slowly and it will usually stay down better than when she drinks from a bowl. Serious vomiting can be a sign of serious troubles like poisoning, brain tumors, ulcers, kidney & liver disorders. To be on the safe side, contact your vet. Also, you might also try giving your dog Pepto-Bismol -- 1 tsp for every 20 pounds of dog every 4 to 6 hours for up to 2 days. Warning: most dogs don't like the taste of Pepto-Bismol and more of it may end up on you than in the dog.

There should be an emergency vet line in the phone book. Call it, they should have some advice. If you don't have funds for ER care, see if the docs can prescribe your pup something until the vet opens on Monday. The ER can be VERY expensive! My pup was very ill last year, took her to ER, she stayed overnight. They found nothing, just called it a stomach virus. Cost us $700.

Give her plenty of liquids and watch what she eats. Keep anything you think she might be allergic to away from her. Watch her very closely and take her to a vet as soon as you can. Some towns also have emergency vet clinics; check your phone book or something similar and see if your town has one.

You should have taken her to the vet hours ago. Call an emergency vet number. She needs to be seen by someone and you are not going to get help for her here.

Is she an outside dog or inside dog? She may have just eaten something that isn't agreeing with her. Is she eating at all? drinking? Attached a link for different things.. As long as she is still being active the way she normally is it may be nothing. Hopefully the link attached will help

Your vet should have emergency numbers on the weekends. Has the dog ate at all?

i think of which you may desire to take your dogs to the vet. it could desire to be something intense. the only undesirable element is that maximum vets decide for the money while they manage your puppy. some vets will artwork with you and set up a value plan. i'm hoping that your dogs gets greater advantageous and the vet will artwork with you on the funds.

Wait until the vet opens up again.
