Okay so once I got home tonight he had throw up in his bed it looked like the baby food that we had given him...could it be just that we maybe gave him to much. And he is still not wanting to drink water on his own..ADVICE PLEASE!!

Could the antibiotic be causing him to throw up? I would be worried if he is not drinking or holding food down. Can you ask the vet if the medicine can make him nauseous or have no appetite? Explain symptoms to the vet....something is definitely not agreeing with him. I would also make sure he is drinking....try some low sodium chicken broth frozen in an ice cube tray. Give him a cube and see if you can get him to "drink" this. HAve you tried the pedialite yet? I would try a canned puppy food...like Wellness puppy. I think changing foods all the time, may not be helping either, but I realize you are just trying to get him to eat. I would also put the wellness puppy(canned) on a plate and let him try that, just a teaspoon or so at a time so it doesn't sit for to long. Good Luck

He will drink the pedialite out of a medicine dropper and will like on it but if I put it in a bowl he will not touch it. I know we have spoiled him and this is not helping the matters any but still...! We have gave him more food and pedialite since he got sick earlier and he is keeping it down still I think its just so much for his little belly to handle he had about 3 droppers full of baby food and I think it was prolly just to much for him to handle..the vet told me to let him eat as much as he would and thats what I did!! Thanks for all the help

He needs a bath so bad could this make him worse by getting him wet? I usually put the towel in the dryer so its really warm when he gets out then he usually takes a nap on the heating pad.
