| Help please My baby is sick! He keeps having diarreah, even though I give him Pepto. This usually clears it right up. I don't think he got ahold of anything unusual to eat. I gave him chicken yesterday and he threw it up before it even digested. I am giving him Karo syrup and forcing water down him, besides the Pepto. I am writing from work and can hardly concentrate an what I am doing. Any suggestions? |

Donating YT 30K Club Member | Hope he is feeling better when you get home. Sometimes my puppy will eat her chicken too fast and throws it right up.

| Oh no! Take him to the vet asap. Is he a puppy still? Sometimes they eat things off the floor that we don't see and they get a little sick. It can be nothing or something but it's best to get it checked out... Can you leave work early? |

| Don't give too much Karo Too much sugar can actually cause diarrhea. Please take him to the vet. Small ones can get very sick very fast. Your vet is your best bet. Let us know how he does.

| Thank you so much for all the replies. He is doing much better. By the time I got home his stools were just really soft and not runny. I didn't feed him anything at lunch time and for dinner he had a teaspoon of his regular food. This morning his stools wer just fine and he hasn't vomited any more. By the way he is 2 1/2 years old, but only 3 1/2 pounds so I worry. Thank you again. You guys are super!! |
