My shitz tzu

I have a 9 month old shitz tzu male that is very energetic. This morning he threw up twice and has been acting sick and weak all day. As far as I know he didnt eat anything out of the ordinary. Should I take him to the vet soon or will it pass?

I do hope he's better soon. Has he had his inoculations? If not, then soon, when he is feeling better, get them done. That would give you peace of mind in the future.

If he had Parvo, I think he would also have very bad diarrhea, most likely with blood in it.

Thank you. If he is not better in the tomorrow I will take him in. I have 3 other dogs two older and one younger and they are not sick or act sick. He wont eat or drink much and lays on the couch all sad and stuff. I hope and pray he doesn't have parvo or anything else like that.

All dogs get upset tummies, but usually this can be traced to some kind of dietary indiscretions. If you are 100% certain he didn't get some unsuitable treat or food from anywhere, and can be sure that's what he threw up...then it would be best to take him to the vet. This could well be just an upset tummy and would get better on its own, but best to be on the safe side with him. If he'd eaten something he shouldn't and threw up, usually after an hour or two he would be feeling better, not worse.
So get him checked out. It's better to do that than to wait....just in case
