Default Any vets here?

My 5 year old rottie won't eat, has no energy, pukes any water he tries to drink, won't even look at food (cooked chicken)...
Last night he chewed a mat at the front door and I'm worried the he's 'blocked' with some of the material from the mat. He normaly doesn't chew stuff ( he actually sleeps on that mat). We will take him to the vet in the am.... But it hurts to see him like this. lethargic is an understatement!!
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks

I'd get him to the vet quickly. Years ago I had a shepherd that decided to chew on and eat some carpet, got her to the vet too late. She died because of being blocked up with carpet.
