My puppy fell and is sick. Could his many medications be the cause?

Question

Pup fell from the 2nd floor to the 1st floor on 06/12 Bounced 2 times and landed on tiled floor. Difficulty walking. Called and went to the vet ASAP. Given calcium, pain reliever, and hind legs and joint thing. Plays but with limited movements causing him to moan his frustrations. Vomited 4 times now. Poops frequently in large amounts. Poop is yellowish, wet, and soft like mashed potatoes. Wet breathing sometimes. Also drinking iron, probiotics, and puppy vite. Is he being given too much meds?

That is a lot of supplements for your puppy, and if he's vomiting and lethargic it could be related to the meds, or to the injury. You didn't mention if any X-rays were taken, and falling from that great of a height can certainly cause broken bones or internal bleeding which could be causing puppy to continue moaning in pain and worsen in condition. Bringing him back in for further testing to rule out more serious injuries and see if his meds need changing is best.
