He is adorable !!! I agre with the other posters as well ! What surprised me is that the vet was not going to do any more tests besides worms? He is a very young puppy, so I would of thought the vet would of wanted to test for things like parvo.... When my 10 months old Suzi became ill a few weeks ago with the same symtoms as your baby the first test was that... Even though she has had all her vaccines. The vet also printed out a medical plan and each price, for every test. That was very helpful.
I would definatley start looking for a better vet ! I am glad your little puppy is feeling better and is in good hands .

Not sure if anyone's still reading this thread. But as an update, I haven't had the time to go to specialty stores for my babies. I went to PetsMart but couldn't find anything that seemed much better than Royal Canine. Since I already had some of that...and I know this brand isn't ideal either bcz it has corn, I took them off of Nutro immediatly and just used Royal Canine. This started since last night around 5pm through all of today. No diarreha or vomit from Murphy yet. And today he's been his normal hyper self. If anything changes I'll let you know. So far so good

oh SO good to hear- i've been thinking of Murphy- thanks for the update! It must have been the Nutro- the RC isn't horrible- the corn just might make them itch and you can change that food whenever you get a chance- the Nutro was the important thing.

Sorry I've been gone for awhile. Just wanted to give a final update. Murphy has not had diarreha/vomitting/etc. since the switch from Nutro. Scary that this food could cause such a reaction in a dog. Murphy is more hyper than ever too! We always thought he was just lazy but nope. He's a whole new dog now that he's not eating the Nutro brand food. Yay for Yorkie talk. You saved me $52 for the vet test and saved my puppy from being sick any longer

THANK YOU ALL!

I am so sorry your baby got so sick from eating the Nutro. It is awful how careful we have to be regarding buying food and other products for our pets.
