My Doxie is vomiting food and bile with diarrhea. Should I worry?

Question

My Doxie started vomiting and had only one case of diarrhea today but he also vomited last night it looks like food and bile no blood or anything like that. Otherwise he seems ok but not his normal self. I'm sure he didn't get into any chemical items or eat anything he shouldn't have.

At that age they are prone to some infections that affect the stomach and intestines, which is likely what is causing the vomiting and diarrhea. It sounds mild and not overly concerning right now. His gum color looks good! Thanks for including that. If he is very lethargic and seems really sad, then it may indicate that something more is going on and he should go to the vet soon. If he's just a little off, but otherwise acting normal, then it's OK to wait a day or two to see if he gets better. If more than two days go by and he's still vomiting and having diarrhea, then it's best to take him to the vet. In the meantime just feed a little (one table spoon) at a time (every two hours). Make sure there is plenty of water available.
