| Just a little worried Hi, Chip my little 6 month old pup, threw up twice today, now he is just laying. around , I gave him a table spoon of yogurt , then he eat some of his food. I just get a little worried. Should I try to get him to eat or drink anything, or just let him do what he wants, the food is all ways out for him. |

Donating YT 30K Club Member | Sorry to hear about your baby. I would keep a close eye on him to make sure he doesn't get dehydrated or get low sugar. If he seems worse get him to an ER vet. I hope he feels better soon.

| From Find A Vet: These 13 Dog Symptoms Need Immediate Attention From Your Vet | Find A Vet The American Veterinary Medical Association (AVMA) warns that pet parents should immediately take their dogs to a veterinarian or emergency animal hospital if their pets are displaying any of the following symptoms: 1. Severe bleeding or bleeding that lasts longer than 5 minutes 2. Choking or difficulty breathing, or continuous coughing and gagging 3. Bleeding from your dog’s nose, mouth or rectum; coughing up blood; or blood in his urine 4. Inability to urinate or defecate, or obvious pain when doing so 5. Eye injuries *(Or eye discoloration, swelling, prolonged squinting) 6. Your dog ate something poisonous, such as antifreeze, xylitol, chocolate, rodent poison, etc.*(Including foreign objects, human/other medicine not currently prescribed for the dog) 7. Seizures and/or staggering 8. Fractured bones, severe limping or your dog cannot move his leg(s) 9. Obvious signs of pain or anxiety *(In addition, toy breeds may exhibit shaking/trembling with pain or anxiety) 10. Heat stress or heatstroke 11. Severe vomiting or diarrhea (more than twice in a 24-hour period, or if it is combined with illness or any of these other conditions) 12. Refusal to drink water for more than 24 hours *(8 - 12 hours for toy breeds as they dehydrate quickly) 13. Unconsciousness *Recommendations/clarifications added by YorkieTalk.com members “The bottom line is that any concern about your pet’s health warrants, at minimum, a call to your veterinarian,” the AVMA notes. For more information about these and other dog health conditions, visit HOW TO Topics: A to Z or submit a question to i Love Dogs’ Ask a Vet.

| Vomiting in a small breed pup can get serious fast. You are right to be concerned. I just wanted to mention the fact that many people have had problems with many of the treats that are available at pet stores and department stores. Some people food can also wreak havoc with a small dog's digestive system. Just be careful what you let him eat. |

| Thanks everyone, three more nights of antibiotics and hopefully he will be well, he is so much better today, bacteria gastroenteritis is a hard sickness for a little one. |

| Buster just recovered from a bout of Gastroenteritis himself. It took him almost two weeks to get back to his regular self. You know your in love when you start celebrating a firm poop! Buster and I hope Chip is feeling better soon.

| So glad you got him as he would have likely just gotten worse and worse, diarrhea started happening too, and extreme loss of fluid can take the life of a small dog quickly. They just don't have the reserves to handle dehydration and when their electrolytes get low, things get critical suddenly. It can sometimes stop the heart so getting him in and getting help in time probably saved his life. Hope he just keeps getting better and better. It's pretty tough on mommie, too, isn't it - having a sick little one?
