My 10-year old yorkie started vomiting and doing this odd whole-body jerking thing last night. It scared us enough that my husband and I took him to the emergency vet. The vet said that it looked like he had a tender abdomen and that we could do x-rays, but she didn’t think it was really necessary and he probably just had an upset stomach. She gave him some medication for nausea, told us to keep an eye on him for 24 hours, and sent us home. Obviously, we can’t take him to his vet today because it’s a holiday. I would like to take him back to his actual vet tomorrow but until then I’m just worried. He still seems a bit lethargic, however, he isn’t jerking or throwing up anymore. Has this happened to anyone else? The throwing up I could assume is maybe just a tummy bug, but the jerking was really scaring us.
