I am not sure what the signs of worms are. For a couple days he was throwing up a little and I am not sure why, but he has stopped now. He is laying beside me and his belly is making the weirdest noises. Gurgling and whatnot. He doesn't eat ANYTHING but his dog food, ever. We don't feed him table scraps and he has an aerial runner so he doesn't go to the neighbors house and eat their food or something like that. What are some signs of worms? I don't want my little dog to get sick :(

I don't think any worms cause a dog to throw up. What you do see is failure to maintain weight, eggs or segments in the stool, and ''scooting'' which may mean anal gland problems instead. Is he a chewer? He may have ripped up something and swallowed part of it that is giving him problems. If he isn't back to normal in a day or 2, get him to the vet. Don't let the weekend catch you with a sick dog.

You may both be better off if you call the vet now.
