| Diarrhea and Tried To Vomit My little Wolfie had diarrhea three times today from early this morning to 12 noon. Very watery. He also just tried to vomit, dry heaved mostly. A tiny bit came out, mostly spit. He is 10 months old and 7 lbs. I tried to give him some rice and chicken and he won't eat it or anything for that matter. Or drink his water. He won't even lick an ice cube. Just wanted to stay under the couch. Should I bring him to the vet or wait a bit to see if it resolves. I don't think he ate anything bad, mostly just his food, though I gave him some grilled chicken that was on top of my salad last night. HELP! I am worried! |

| I would call the vet. These little ones can dehydrate or get hypoglycemic pretty quickly. Hope he feels better!

| Don't worry about giving him food. His tummy needs to "rest". Liquid is important to keep him hydrated. If he's not drinking then he needs to see a vet. My Rosie has major tummy issues. Sometimes a teaspoon of pure pumpkin in the can will help her with diarrhea. How is he acting? Is he lethargic? Has he had any more bowel movements?

| called the vet I called the vet and she said to watch him and that if he throws up more than twice in 10 mins to take him in. He just vomited the most horrible smelly vomit. I am hoping that maybe he feels better after that. He is def sick from something but not sure what. He won't even lick an ice cube so she said if he doesn't drink by tonight to bring him in. I am so worried! |

| I would go to ER vet, I think he will be much worse by morning if you don't! Good luck, he needs care and rehydration from the sounds of it. Keep us posted...please take him.

| threw up water This is my regular vet yes. So I got water into him with a baby syringe. Just a little bit but then he thew up the water. I put a few more drops into him and so far so good. I picked up some chicken baby food to put with rice but he won't eat it. He's asleep right now. If he wakes up and either has diarrhea or vomits I am taking him. What do you think it could be. I don't want them to keep him there!!! |

| I know how you feel about leaving him, trust me though it is better than losing him! He needs to be seen by a vet that doesn't put it off, he needs medical help. You do not want to regret not going...by morning he will be much worse. Who knows what it could be but it's not worth his life by speculating. These little dogs die from a day or two of any sickness. I'm sorry you and he are dealing with this...please go do not wait til it's too late.

I ♥ Joey & Ralphie! Donating Member | Vomiting and diarrhea are symptoms of a larger problem. Do you have any idea, what made him sick? Little dogs go down hill rapidly and you need to take him to the vet to see what's wrong. Stop pushing the food, they can live a few days without water, but some die within a day of becoming dehydrated. Also, if you do it wrong you could get it in his lungs, instead of his tummy. The vet can just give it intravenously, so no vomiting is involved.

| I would take him to an emergency now and not wait. I would be safe and let them see him. Pumpkin does work if you need to try that. |

I ♥ Joey & Ralphie! Donating Member | Pumpkin is great for diarrhea, but when there is vomiting, all food should be avoided. Vomiting at this point could prove dangerous. Like others have said, stomach needs to rest a bit.

| Update Hi Everyone I took Wolfie to the vet. He seemed to be doing much better. Perked up, played with his toys, and then he went into the bathroom to his pee pads and when I went in after him there was a liquid puddle of reddish brown. I rushed him in right away, taking a sample of the liquid with me. At the vet she was not very concerned about the red. She said his intestinal tract was irritated, but he did mention parvo. He has had all his shots but I guess there is always a chance. I am neurotic about him not eating anything when we are out so I am hoping that's not it. She said he seemed very alert and energetic and she didn't think so either. So she gave him an anti-nausea shot for the vomiting and some medicine I have to give him twice a day. They took a stool sample to test for parasites and bacterial infection. If he doesn't get any better and gets worse in the next 6 hours, she said there is a bigger chance he has parvo, or if not that, something stuck in his intestinal tract like a piece of a toy. He never really eats his toys, he chews them and if he rips them, spits it out, but there's always that chance. But he was very energetic, wanted to talk home, which isn't too far so I let him. He did another bloody liquid poo on the way home. So now we wait and see. She said she would have pushed the parvo test if he was limp and lethargic but that bc he was alert and energetic she said it was up to me. I hope he is okay. He seems fine acting but that bloody liquid has me worried. She said no food or water until tomorrow morning. She gave him some hydration under his skin to keep him hydrated. So that's it for now ... |
