Hi, I have a 1 yr old gsd called Max, he has been sick about 10 times today, he then perked up for about an hour and he has now had very watery diarrhoea 3 times, I have tried boiled rice, but he isn't interested. All his injections, flea and worm treatment are up to date, when do I need to worry? Thankyou

It sounds as Max is suffering from a gastrointestinal condition, possibly an infection. it could also be due to ingestion of a foreign body material. i would recommend taking him to the vet the first chance you get, he will need to be checked first, if the vet thinks it's a simple gastrointestinal infection he will need an anti vomiting injection, antibiotics and a special food for a few days in order to get better.

With a history of eating various objects and vomiting, I would be worried about a bowel obstruction. If max is constantly vomiting right now and also acting very lethargic or painful, then this is very suspicious of an obstruction and Max will need emergency veterinary treatment as soon as possible to prevent life-threatening complications. Continual vomiting could have various other causes like a stomach ulcers, or an infection. Either way, it's best to have Max evaluated by a vet sometime soon, so his condition can be accurately diagnosed and treated. The vet will at-least be able to give medication to stop the vomiting and make him feel better. I hope that helps and Max gets better soon.

Max sounds very sick at the moment. It could be he has a foreign body, may have severe GI illness, pancreatitis, or could have eaten something rotten causing his symptoms. He needs veterinary care now, this is not something you can treat with home remedies. Please take him into a vet right away. Best of luck.
