Hi my dog buster is just over year old. He has been through a lot operation for leg hydrotherapy ongoing will need op for other leg new year. He is normally excited and playful. He has brought up bile yesterday and 6 times today. Wont eat or drink and just sleeping. Nose roasting hot. Could this be a viral as our whole household have been bit under weather. I've gave him his normal pain reliever but wondering if I need to take him to vet tomorrow if he doesnt perk up

I hate to hear Buster is not feeling well. Just like humans, there are many reasons a pet will vomit. Definitely have him examined if he is not perking up by tomorrow. If he feels warm, it could be an infection but at this point, there is not a known virus that will spread between dogs and people that will cause a GI bug or fever. You can take his temperature at home: https://www.petcoach.co/article/how-to-take-your-pet-s-temperature/ Here is a link about vomiting which may also help: petcoach.co/article/vomiting-in-dogs/ If he seems like he is getting worse, you may consider having him examined tonight at an emergency clinic. Monitor him closely. I hope this helps and please feel free to post any additional questions.
