Pet's info: Dog | Akita | Male | neutered | 11 months and 25 days old | 79.3 lbs

I have an Akita. 11 months old. Had 1 bought of diarrhoea in the early hours of this morning. 2 bouts of sickness which where yesterday lunch time and this morning about 9am. He's been drinking but won't even attempt to eat anything bland. He attempts to play with our other dog but she isn't interested. He seems down and not himself. As you can see in the picture with my son, he's normally very playful

Diarrhea and vomiting could be caused by parasites, change in diet, toxin ingestion, infectious viral diseases, blockage in the intestines caused by ingestion of a foreign body, or a mass/growth in the gastrointestinal tract. Please make an appointment to have Logan seen by a veterinarian as soon as possible for diagnosis and treatment, as diarrhea and vomiting, particularly in a youngster such as Logan can lead to dehydration and can be very dangerous if left untreated. I’m concerned that Logan’s behaviour has changed, as this indicates he is still not feeling well, and needs treatment.
