Diarrhea and vomiting is always a concern with dogs. Usually, this is caused by something like getting into the trash, or an infection of some sort. Vomiting and diarrhea together can result in dehydration, electrolyte imbalance, blood sugar depletion, and death if not cured quickly. It can be caused by many infections, bacteria, fungi, and parasites.
The best way to handle this is to treat the dog at home for 24-36 hours, and if no improvement happens, take it to the vet. Usually when this is caused by eating something that didn't agree with the stomach, all that is needed is for the stomach to empty out completely.
To do this, keep the dog away from food for 24 hours (8-12 hours if it is very young or old). During this time, make sure the dog has access to clean water, and if it does not drink itself, then give it tablespoons into it's mouth every hour or so. After the specified time, give it a small meal of boiled chicken and rice as it is easy to digest. Follow up with more water, and meals over the next day till the dog's stool goes back to its normal consistency. If the diarrhea or vomiting restarts, start the whole process again.
