My 5-month Pitbull puppy is throwing up, no appetite. What can I do?

Question

My 5 month old Pitbull puppy has been throwing up for at least 10 hours now. He does not have diarrhea. He is drinking water on his own but has no appetite. He has been vaccinated. What can I do for him or what are my options? Can not afford to go to the vet until next Friday.

He needs ideally to be seen as soon as possible as this can cause severe dehydration and his condition could get worse rapidly. You might try at home to withhold food for the next 6 hours and then start feeding with a bland diet based on boiled chicken and rice in small portion every 6 hours for the following 48hours. Then gradually reintroduce the normal diet over 5 days. I would definitively recommend a veterinary check up if the signs persist or you notice diarrhoea, more vomiting, lethargy or inappetence. Please do not hesitate to contact us again on the forum or by requesting a consultation if you have any more questions or to discuss it any further.
