Hi. With these signs, we get concerned about parasites or parvo virus. It could be serious without treatment if parvo. I'd get the puppy checked out and tested for parvo and parasites. I would try to wean her from nursing or feeding off the moms regurgitation

Congrats on your new dog, but I'm so sorry Duke is ill! Only have one round of shots will not protect him just yet, he needs three total rounds. Because of this, I would be extremely concerned that Duke could have parvovirus. That would cause him to vomit, not eat or drink, and be very lethargic. Other causes include a GI illness, eating something rotten, or a foreign body. Given the fact that he has had only one round of vaccines and because parvo is too often fatal, I think it's best you take Duke into an ER vet or find a vet on call to see him ASAP. The vet can do a blood test to diagnose if he does have parvo, and can treat it symptomatically as there is no cure for it. He can survive parvo, but it's extremely important he sees a vet right away in case he has it so he can start treatment now.

Congrats on your new dog, but I'm sorry that Duke is sick! There are a couple of things this could be causing the bloody diarrhea. My first concern would be parvovirus. This is a highly contagious disease of unvaccinated dogs, and given his age, he will not be fully vaccinated. Parvo is very often deadly, and is considered a medical emergency. It could also be a change in diet, a GI illness, or intestinal parasites causing this bloody diarrhea. Due to the high risk of parvo, you need to take Duke into a vet immediately. The vet can diagnose what is causing the bloody diarrhea and can treat him for it. Good luck, I hope this helps!

I am so sorry that Champ is sick. I am very worried about him based on the information you gave. If he hasn't been vaccinated for Parvovirus, that is definitely a big concern for him. https://www.petcoach.co/article/parvovirus-serious-diarrhea-in-puppies-dogs/. Because whatever is causing the vomiting and diarrhea (whether its Parvo or something else, such as a severe intestinal parasite infection, or a blockage in his intestine) could be life threatening, I have to recommend that you take him to a vet. Since oral fluids (even when syringed gently) often cannot be tolerated (the GI tract is just not working... the fluid will not be absorbed) IV fluids are often needed. Also, with Champ being so little, he is at risk for his blood sugar dropping dangerously low which could be deadly. You can rub a little corn syrup or honey on his gums to try to help with this at home. Offer very small amounts of water or broth at a time to try to get some fluids in him, but don't force fluids- he could aspirate the fluid (breathe it into his lungs, rather than the fluid going into his stomach) which would set him up for pneumonia as well. Unfortunately there just isn't a ton you can do at home other than corn syrup/water and small frequent oral fluids----And I'm afraid that may not be enough. I wish there was more I could offer you, but it really sounds like he needs veterinary care.
