Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! I'm sorry to hear Precious has an upset stomach. Vomiting in dogs can be due to a variety of reasons, such as foreign material ingestion, dietary indiscretion, intestinal parasites, an infection, or another underlying metabolic issue. As it has been going on for longer than a day and she doesn't want to eat, I would recommend she be evaluated by her regular veterinarian to determine what the underlying cause may be, have any diagnostics that may be needed (xray, bloodwork, etc) and start any treatment (fluid therapy, anti-nausea medications, etc) that may be needed. Good luck!

Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! Vomiting and inappetence can occur from many conditions such as foreign body ingestion and obstruction, pancreatitis, gastroenteritis, dietary indiscretion, among other possibilities. I recommend that you have Duke evaluated by a veterinarian as soon as possible for further assessment and treatment as I am afraid that he is getting dehydrated. This will likely require bloodwork and abdominal imaging in terms of diagnostics. Treatment would be based on findings. At the very least your veterinarian could start him on medications to make him feel better. In the meantime, keep water available at all times to try to prevent dehydration. Good luck and have a good day!

Not eating in a puppy has me concerned about a serious medical illness or an intestinal blockage. I would recommend that Athena get checked out by your vet as soon as possible. After a thorough medical examination, the vet may recommend x-rays, ultrasound, or other diagnostics to determine why she is not eating well. Then appropriate treatment can be discussed. Possible causes for decreased appetite in a puppy include dietary intolerance, dietary indiscretion, food allergy, intestinal parasites, GI blockage, gastroenteritis, bacterial or viral infection, among others.
