Emergency – dog is trying to throw up but nothing coming up

Wednesday, September 16th, 2009

My six year old black lab suddenly woke up and is “trying” to vomit.

All that is coming up is bile. She acts like something is “stuck” or has a hairball. The heaving is very dry and the hacking is a dry almost scream.

She is healthy, ate a good supper at 6 pm, has access to plenty of water all day. Don’t know what to do for her. There is not an emergency after hours clinic near my home from what I can tell. Need some immediate feedback please. I am in Lake Wylie, SC just south of Charlotte, NC.
