Hello, sorry to hear about Chevy. I would consider taking him to your veterinarian to have him checked for worms. You can also bring a stool sample with you to Chevy's appointment to help them expedite their testing for worms. They may also suggest testing for other things that may cause vomiting in puppies such as viruses. Hope this helps.

    It sounds as your dog 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.

    I am sorry that Juno is vomiting so much. In young puppies they are at higher risk for parasites, viruses like parvo and ingestion of foreign material. I would recommend taking her to a vet to make sure everything is okay. I would take a fecal sample with you so the vet can test for gastrointestinal parasites like round and hookworms. In young dogs it is important they are eating and do not become dehydrated. hope that helps
