My 6 month old puppy vomited white foam like stuff once this morning. Now he is just lying in bed and refusing to eat or drink anything. He is also panting a little. Should I be worried?

Hi, sorry to hear your puppy is sick. Vomiting once does not concern me. Since she is a puppy, she may have gotten into something she's not supposed to and has an upset stomach. I would give her a pill of pepcid or Famotidine then fast her with no food or water for 6-8 hours. Then start with some water. If she keeps that down, feed her some boiled chicken and rice instead of her own food and no treats either. Feed her this for 2-3 days to settle her stomach. if at time time she continues to vomit or is also having diarrhea, he will need to see a vet. Puppies can get dehydrated quickly and should get tested for the serious disease called parvovirus if she is having vomiting or diarrhea. Good luck, i hope Jessi feels better!

Poor girl. She does seem to be a bit more out of it than a normal exhausted pet that is adjusting to her new surroundings. check her gums and make sure they are still pink and that her pulses are still strong. If those are good, then give her until morning to perk back up. You can also try offering her plain boiled chicken and rice or cottage cheese to see if she will eat a bit. If she is still not well after 24 hrs or seems to be getting worse, then I would highly recommend having your local vet take a look at her to ensure she doesn't have something serious going on. Best case scenario is that she has a mild upset stomach and will get better soon. I hope that Jessi is able to make a full and speedy recovery. Best wishes and take care.

It sounds like your puppy may have either a lot of worms or a canine parvo-virus infection. You need to make sure she is well hydrated, give her water directly into her mouth by the spoonful. I am sure there are vets in Nigeria. Since I do not know where in Nigeria you live, maybe you can pick one near you from this list: http://www.nvma.org.ng/nvma-directory2 Your puppy needs to be seen by a veterinary doctor.

It sounds like she has a severe fever, most likely from gastroenteritis. Maintaining her hydration levels with electrolyte solutions (gatorade or a salt and sugar solution) can help and some probiotics such as live yoghurt may also help bowel recovery. Unfortunately with the vomiting, injectable medications may be required in order to stabilise her condition until her appetite returns, bland food such as boiled rice, eggs, chicken, fish and pumpkin can help
