He could be uncomfortable because he has abdominal pain. If it continues than you should call your vet and give him/her an update. Your vet could prescribe gastric protectants and pain medications to help relieve his discomfort. Hope he feels better soon!

Hi there! Sorry to hear that Riley is not feeling well. The clinical signs you describe are concerning when they occur in a puppy as they can be seen with serious gastrointestinal infections such as Parvovirus. Other possibilities include intestinal worms, gastrointestinal ingestion and obstruction and dietary indiscretion, among other possibilities. The sooner these conditions are treated the better the outcome tends to be. For this reason, I recommend that you have Riley evaluated by your veterinarian to check for these possibilities and to start therapy based on findings. At the very least they can address dehydration if present and administer other anti-nausea medications that may help. Good luck! Keeping my fingers crossed for your boy!

My dog has been vomiting, depressed and not eating. The vet gave him anti nausea injection. 18 hours later and he is restless and has been shaking. What should I do?
My dog threw up earlier tonight. He hasn't been sick in about 5 hours but he won't settle for the night. He's done this before with a stomach virus and I'm thinking that's what it is now. I've checked his stomach and it isn't any bigger than normal.
