What could be wrong with my dog?

I have a 3 1/2 year old 98 pound black lab
Since yesterday he has been vomiting (several times) the vomit is black and VERY smelly. Almost a formeldhyde(sp?) smell.
Today, he is not active, won't eat, drinks very little, and his nose is dry...a little warm but not hot.
We have not used any chemicals around the house or yard.
Any ideas?
Answers:
While parvo and such diseases tend to be more prevalent among puppies, it does sound very much like either that or poisoning. If it's parvo, he should have diarrhea and vomiting. If he has not died already (these are symptoms that should have prompted an immediate vet visit), he should be taken to a vet immediately. If money is an issue, most vets will set up a payment plan to allow your pet to receive the care he deserves.
Get him to a vet NOW, someone may have tossed poison over the fence or he may have picked up pravo either way he needs to see a vet fast.
Please get your dog to a vet very soon. This is not good for him to be vomiting up what could be blood.
Vets now!
You should take him to the vet now. He sounds poisoned. But you have to take him to the vet to save him. Take him right away.
is he current on all vaccines? Did he get into something in the yard? Did you change his food or treats? You better take him to the vet in the AM. Hope he feels better soon!
Bring him to the vet! That's not good at all! Hurry! Right now! Don't tell me you have no money for a vet! If you don't have any money, then you shouldn't have a dog! Bring him to a vet!
PLEASE take your dog to the vet now! Not in the morning, your dog is very sick! I'm sorry to hear that... now go!
Sounds like anti freeze poisoning, go to vet
VET VET VET!
The manufacture of your pet food could have messed up on the food and it could have something in it.
I know vet trips are expensive, but you cannot take chances on things like this. It sounds as if your dog has eaten something that he is not suppossed to. There is no way for any of us to tell over the computer, and he needs a veterinarian as soon as possible. Please take him in! Good luck- I hope everything turns out alright! : )
I lost my 3 year old Yellow Lab with the same symptoms. He was poisoned with car anti-freeze and despite getting him to the vet very quickly he didn't mke it. The black smelly substance your dog is vomiting could in fact be blood. Don't wait for answers here! GET YOUR DOG TO THE VET NOW !!! There are 24 hour emergency Vet Centers everywhere.Please don't wait!
what are you still doing on the computer take you dog to the vet .(oh yeah please)
When blood curdles in the acid of the stomach, it turns black. There is a high suspicion that your dog is vomiting blood.
Your time is running out. Race to the vet.
Why did you wait for a whole day anyway? He should have seen a vet as soon as you saw the first bit of "black vomit". That is an emergency.
Could turn out to be stomach ulcers or oesophogeal ulcers, but poisoning would be my greatest worry.

go to the vet and tell him whats been happening...and the vet will check it out.
