Dog puking yellow fluid, not eating, drinking water but vomits shortly after.

I have a 1.5 year old lab that eats everything that he can, including large socks. He has always been able to vomit up whatever he gets pretty quickly but this time I'm not so sure. He ate a "gummy" pacifier last night and has been vomiting ever since (roughly 20 times in 24 hours). I am in a very rural area and the closest vet is an hour away and closes at 12 so I do not have a vet option until Monday. I'm convinced the pacifier is causing a blockage and am wondering what I can do to make sure he makes it until Monday morning so that I can get him to his vet. I am extremely worried and would greatly appreciate any advice/comments.

I was able to find a vet and they suspect gastritis so now it's a wait and see game because they did not have an xray machine. They were unable to palpate a mass of any size and he was not dehydrated. It has been 3 hours with no vomiting so things are looking brighter. If he does get sick I was given the emergency number so keep your fingers crossed for me!!

I agree on getting him to a Vet.  No ER Vet clinics around there?

You really need to get him to a Vet today asap! Its possible his stomach could also be twisted alongside a blockage. He will quickly become dehydrated and will be suffering. I am sorry to hear you dog is ill. Please keep us posted. Like I said this is an emergency and can not wait until Monday. ((((hugs)))))
