Pet's info: Dog | Border Collie | Male | neutered | 6 months and 1 day old | 27 lbs
Hello! My 6 month old border collie/lab has lost his appetite and has shown some signs of diarrhea, also has vomited twice in the past week. He was up for two hours in the middle of the night crying and his stomach was growling so loud, but he did not have to poop. What is wrong? He also has an ear infection right now and is on drops.

Poor Bodie! He could have an infection, parasite, pancreatitis, or an upset stomach from something he ate. Since he seems to have abdominal pain and is uncomfortable, he should be examined by a vet to determine the cause and treat. Your vet can prescribe an anti-nausea and anti-diarrhea medication, dewormer, antibiotic, antacid, gastrointestinal protectant, an/or other medications to help treat his problem. It would also be a good idea to take a stool sample so your vet can test it for parasites. Hope he feels better soon!
