My dog had diarrhea, vomited, now limping and constipated. What to do?

Question

Hello. Two days ago my dog had explosive diarrhea along with throwing up. We have him in a dog kennel bed at night based on his weight, he’s a rat terrier so he’s medium sized. Lately his stomach has been better but now one of his paws is causing him pain....I’m not scared but I hate to see my puppy hopping. He’s also a bit constipated, what should I do? I don’t know if he’s eaten anything unusual outside or not. :(. Pet's info: Dog | Rat Terrier | Male | unneutered | 4 years and 6 months old | 18 lbs

It’s been a rough few day for Max! It’s not unusual after diarrhea to have a few days without a bowel movement. The limping is concerning. I would recommend that he be evaluated by a veterinarian. They can look for signs of trauma/ fracture, infection, embedded foreign object etc.. They may prescribe some dog safe pain medication as well. Good luck and I hope he is back to normal soon.
