My dog hasn’t eaten for a day, drank a little water and threw it up, and is vomiting yellow fluid.
Not eating and vomiting yellow fluid may be gastritis, or if unvaccinated, distemper or parvovirus. Get a vet check for those viruses. If it's gastritis, use dog-specific antiemetics and probiotics. If distemper or parvo is confirmed, have a vet treat it — these are dangerous and quickly fatal without treatment.

Feed fish in moderation and watch digestion.
