My puppy has a fever, is vomiting, and won't eat. What should I do?

Question

Hi, my pup doesn't have received any vaccination yet cause he's just turning 2months. And he has fever now on and off for 2 day. And start vomiting today (2nd day). What should I do? He also doesn't have an apetite to eat. So I'm just giving him water with sugar and water with dextrose powder. Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed Small (up to 22lb) | Male

I am so sorry to hear that Tammie is so unwell. It is difficult to know exactly what is wrong at this stage but an infection or gastrointestinal parasites could be likely. Because she is so young my best advice would be to take her in to see a veterinarian as soon as you can for diagnosis and treatment. In the meantime you might try tempting her with boiled boneless chicken and white steamed rice. This diet is highly palatable and may tempt her into eating, but is also easily digestible for her gastrointestinal tract. You can also provide low sodium chicken broth to help with her fluids rather then Sugar and water. I hope she perks up soon, and please feel free to post any further questions you may have here on Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach.
