Hi! My puppy is very weak and keeps on vommiting. This afternoon her poop was brown but now it was some kind of a blood clot like form and it smells bad. What should I do? I gave her a medicine which the pet store owner told me to use. I need help she's just 3 months

I'm sorry to hear that Pickles is not feeling well! Vomiting and bloody diarrhea can occur in young puppies as a result of parvovirus, other intestinal viruses, parasites, or an upset stomach from changes in food or medication. Young puppies are more susceptible to the effects of dehydration and hypoglycemia (low blood sugar - typically caused by not eating or excessive vomiting) than adult dogs. At this point, the best thing to do is take Pickles to a vet immediately. The vet will be able to examine her, perform any necessary testing (possibly a stool test, parvovirus test, blood tests) so that the most appropriate treatment can be started. With the severity of Pickles' clinical signs, there are no home remedies that are likely to be even remotely effective. I hope that she is feeling better soon!

Poor Bruno sounds extremely ill! I would bring him back into the vet immediately. He needs medical attention now if he is vomiting frequently, having bloody stools, and can't keep his medicine down. I would be very concerned that he may have parvovirus, which is a life threatening infection of young unvaccinated puppies. He likely needs a shot to stop the vomiting, medications given via injections, and more IV fluids. Please take him back into the vet asap.

Since Pickles is acting normal otherwise, try withholding food for 12-24 hours. Allow small amounts of water or unflavored PediaLyte. Resume feeding a bland diet in small, frequent amounts waiting at least one hour between feedings. This can be boiled boneless/skinless chicken breast and plain white rice. You may substitute ground turkey, ground beef (coked/drained) or cottage cheese for the chicken if necessary. Continue feeding until the stool is normal then transition slowly to the regular diet. If the diarrhea doesn’t stop, see your veterinarian. Submit a stool sample to diagnose intestinal parasites or bacterial overgrowth. Go through the house and yard to discover anything Pickles may be getting into that could cause the diarrhea.

It sounds like your pup need to go the veterinarian. Diarrhea lasting longer than 48hrs often causes changes in the bacteria flora which will continue the diarrhea regardless of the initial cause. There are many causes of diarrhea and he most common are worms, giardia and bacterial infections. Continue the bland diet and take in a still sample for your pet into your visit. I hope Pickles starts feeling better quickly and please feel free to post any additional questions.
