Sick dog - ER vet or wait and see?

[mzteris]

Hi all -

my new "grand-dog" is sick!

(History: My daughter adopted a rescue a few months ago. he was in foster care for several months before that, and in a shelter for almost a year before that. The vet gave him a clean bill of health, he has his shots, etc...)


He started with diarrhea and vomiting yesterday afternoon - about 3 x until 11pm when she called the first time. . she just called again and said he'd had incidents all through the night on the dot of every two hours, though now he's it's been 2.5 hours since the last.

It's not bloody or anything. Earlier it was undigested food, but now just throws up "froth".

He was licking ice cubes, but won't now. His gums are light pink but aren't gummy (though they were a bit tacky during the night). He will get up to go out. Will roll over for a belly rub. Wagged his tail when "daddy" walked in. But otherwise seems pretty tired and wants to just lay there.

So - emergency vet visit? Or wait until tomorrow and then regular vet if he's not better? (or even if he is...)
