Question

My dog's head is jerking back and forth, and he has vomited twice. Earlier he was eating leaves, and I was wondering if I should be worried. Take him to the emergency vet? He's a little lethargic and generally uninterested in our cats whom he frequently enjoys tormenting. Is he ok?

Info Request

Hi XXXXXXXXXXXXX~

Do you know what type of leaves he was eating?

When was the last time he vomited?

288 days and 12 hours ago.

He ate a few different kinds, some weeds, part of our clematis, and other regular garden plants. He probably vomited last almost an hour ago.

Accepted Answer

Hi...thanks for answering.

 

Since he's still showing these strange 'jerking' movements of his head and is lethargic (leaving the cat alone), I think it would be a good idea to have him seen by the emergency vet..just to be on the safe side.

 

The clematis aren't toxic as far as I know...but some of the weeds could be.
