Hopeful

a few days ago our cat cody died he was pretty old but it caught us off guard we should have seen it coming because he didnt eat or drink and he was become isolated we just thought maybe he was sick and gave him the prescription he was taking for years prescribe by the vet on a regular basis but then i noticed he just started laying around and wouldnt even move i tried to make him as comfortable as possible but the next day he died. A few days later today our rotweiler Rocko is very sick hes doing the same as cody but he throwing up anything we give him i wonder if hes gonna die to what should we do??!!

I would be concerned enough to take him to the emergency vet tonight in case he's been poisoned, for example anti freeze which destroys the kidneys. Since emergency vets are very expensive and if it's not a possibility, the dog better be at the vet's tomorrow and mention the cat died too. Granted, it might be coincidence, but better safe than sorry.

Keep the Rottie away from food since his tummy is lurching. If water is also coming back up, let him lick or chew ice cubes for moisture. This is fine for 24 hours......of course he can't be in heat or sun during this time. Then let the vet advise you. Hopefully Rottie just has an upset tummy and after a 24 hour fast can be slowly returned to eating first with rice and then rice and ground beef.
Were you able to get him into the vet?
