Hello and thank you for your question. I am sorry to hear Texas is not feeling very well. Vomiting, lethargy, diarrhea, and decreased appetite are very concerning signs and have many causes behind them. Infectious causes, internal organ dysfunction, or a foreign body or GI obstruction could be at play. Texas is really better off in the care of a veterinarian today as a veterinary hospital will be able to diagnose and treat Texas effectively and give him the proper care he needs. If a vet isn't an option, there are not a lot of home treatments for these symptoms. Try and keep Texas hydrated to offering water to him frequently and offering him unflavored pedialyte in his water may help as well as feeding him a bland diet of boiled chicken and rice. Keeping him warm and comfortable will also help. Thank you for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach and I hope Texas feels better soon.

That's not good that Milo hasn't eaten anything today! It definitely sounds like he's feeling a bit off, especially if he is also lethargic. I would try to tempt him to eat by offering him some boiled white meat chicken (no bones or skin) and white rice. If he refuses to eat that, vomits it, stops drinking water, starts vomiting water, and/or continues to be lethargic, you will need to take him into the vet first thing in the morning. Should he eat the chicken and rice, I would feed that to him tomorrow, then slowly add back in his normal diet. I hope this helps!

So sorry that Cujo is not feeling well. Unfortunately his symptoms are very vague and non-specific. Anything that can ail a dog can cause vomiting and lethargy. Common reasons for puppies would be: * intestinal parasites * dietary indiscretion * pancreatitis * bowel obstruction * gastroenteritis * virus Just keep him calm and quiet until his appointment. It would also be a good idea to withhold food but do make sure he has access to fresh, clean water but don't force him to drink. Hope this helps. Best wishes.
