When is vomiting a reason for a 24-hour emergency hospital?

Go to a 24-hour emergency hospital right away if your dog has a swollen, hard belly and keeps trying to vomit with nothing coming up, if your pet collapses, vomits a lot of blood, or is too weak to stand. Petfolk Vintage Park is a primary and urgent care clinic, not an emergency hospital. BluePearl Pet Hospital at 1646 Spring Cypress Rd in Spring runs a 24-hour emergency service and asks you to call before you go.

When should my pet see a vet today?

Book a same-day visit if you see any of these:

• Vomiting more than two or three times in a day

• Diarrhea for more than a day, or any diarrhea with blood

• A puppy or kitten with vomiting or diarrhea

• Not eating or drinking, or very low energy

• You think your pet ate a toy, a bone or something toxic

• An older pet, or one with kidney disease or diabetes

Young pets get sick fast because they dry out quickly. About 1 in 5 vomiting or diarrhea visits at Petfolk's Houston-area clinics (20%) were for puppies or kittens under a year old, from October 2025 through September 2026, and about 1 in 4 of these patients (26%) were cats.

What the vet does

1. A full exam: gums, hydration, belly, temperature.

2. Questions about food changes, treats, trash, toys and travel.

3. Tests if needed, such as a fecal check, blood work in Vintage Park or an x-ray.

4. Treatment: anti-nausea medicine, fluids, and medicine to settle the gut.

5. A plan for home, often a few days of a bland or prescription diet.

Fluids are common. About 1 in 3 Houston-area visits for vomiting or diarrhea at Petfolk (35%) included fluid therapy. You'll get an estimate before any test or treatment. The final bill can differ if the plan changes during the visit.

Thank you guys for helping our little guy out, we got back home and have already noticed a positive difference with him after his fluids and medicine!

Fear Free, gentle handling helps a queasy pet stay calm. The team works slowly and gives breaks.

Can heavy rain make my dog sick?

It can. Texas A&M's diagnostic lab says wet conditions raise exposure to leptospirosis, a bacterial infection, even for city dogs who use parks, trails or the backyard. Vomiting, not eating and low energy after a storm deserve a call, and the leptospirosis vaccine is worth asking about. Standing water also tempts dogs to drink from puddles.

Caring for your pet at home

• Offer small sips of water often, not a full bowl at once.

• Hold food for a few hours if the vet suggests it, then start small, bland meals.

• Don't give human stomach medicine unless the vet says to.

• Take a photo of the vomit or stool. It helps the vet more than you'd think.

What does it cost?

A vomiting or diarrhea visit is a sick or urgent exam, which starts at $135 at Petfolk Vintage Park. Fluids, medicine and tests are added only after you agree. PetfolkCare membership starts at $199 a year, and members can message a 24/7 care team by chat when they aren't sure whether to come in.
