I hope by observation you mean they are giving him IV fluids.

And you need to bring the dog in way sooner than 36 hours after vomiting starts. 6 hours max I'd take the dog in.
Maybe less if he was listless.

Wow, kind of harsh to op, don't you think? Sometimes dogs vomit because they ate too fast and didn't chew. Sometimes they ate something they shouldn't have. That doesn't mean they need an immediate trip to the vet. Nobody knows the reason op waited 36 hours to bring her dog to the vet, so she doesn't deserve to be judged like that. Your comments are not helpful or supportive.

You're joking, right?
She said she didn't bring the dog in after he was vomiting for 36 hours.
That's a very severe problem. It became severe after about 4- 8 hours and she let it go on another 28- 32 hours.
She says she doesn't have a lot of experience caring for a dog - she needs to know these things.

She didn't say how many times the dog vomited. Maybe the dog vomited 3 times over a 36 hour period, maybe more, but we don't know since op didn't say. If your dog threw up once in twice in 24 hours would you rush to the vet? I probably wouldn't, but I'm a first time dog owner, so what do I know? I stand by my opinion that your comments weren't helpful or supportive to op who is probably feeling awful about it.

My dog threw up 11 times in one day. I wasn't home but as soon as I got home and heard, I took her to the vet. They rehydrated, which was good because a dog's blood can basically coagulate if they aren't rehydrated in time. She survived but we never knew the cause. I suspected she ate a large bullfrog as it disappeared around that time.

Hope OP's dog is okay.

Xylitol is a deadly food ingredient if consumed by dogs and it is in most diet foods -- gum, yogurt, pudding, etc. Hope the dog didn't eat people food.

Vet wants to keep the dog overnight for observation because she is dehydrated, refusing food and showing signs of being in pain. Vet is not speculating right now on what it could be.

Anyone experience anything like this before? This is my first dog, so I do not know very much. She is on a nice brand of grain free kibble and we don't really do treats. Could it be a food allergy?

What brand? I don't trust anything from grocery stores, petsmart or petco. You can also sign up online for dog food recall notices..

Did they check for parvovirus?

You're both dumb and very very dense.

Could also be autoimmune. I hope they did a full panel of blood work. And of course your pup is feeling better

What's your problem? You have nothing helpful to say, but you're very quick to call names and be very rude.

My dog ate a sock and had these symptoms. Didn't show on X-ray. I hope you can avoid the exploratory surgery.
