Buck could have a parasite or infection causing the vomiting and diarrhea. Your vet can test a stool sample and prescribe medications to treat. He may need a dewormer, antibiotic, anti-vomiting, and/or other medications to help treat. You can also feed a bland diet of boiled chicken and white rice and add a probiotic to see if that helps.

    I am sorry to hear about Buck! I would recommend seeing if your vet can take a look at him. Even though he has had vaccines, he isn't considered fully protected against parvo virus at this young age. We also worry in young dogs about ingestion of foreign bodies or other things that might upset their stomachs, and intestinal parasitism. When a puppy this young has vomiting and diarrhea they can get dehydrated quickly, so we prefer to see them right away rather than waiting a few days. We can give them injections to help stop the vomiting and fluids to help rehydrate them until they overcome whatever illness is causing the GI upset.

    It Seems as Cu 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. the vaccination might need to be reschedule to a later date if he is still not well by then.
