Hi my 13 year old male Yorkie is vomitting everything including water. He is tired and laying around. Last week we brought home a 10 week old rescue puppy. Any ideas what can be wrong or what I can do for my senior pup? My senior pup is unvaccinated while the puppy has 2/3 sets of shots so far? The pup seems to be fine and healthy. The senior was as well up until today.

I'm sorry to hear Harley isn't feeling well. It is hard to say what's going on without seeing him. He could have caught something from the puppy, especially since he is not vaccinated. I would be worried about parasites, parvovirus, or a bacterial infection. It could also be something unrelated to the new puppy. I recommend taking him to the vet for blood work and a stool sample check. This will narrow down what could be wrong. Good luck and kisses to Harley!
