Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed Large (61lb +) | Female | unspayed
We are in the military and cannot take our dogs to the vet. They all sleep outside. Two nights ago it was really cold, one of the puppies died in a pool of blood piss and shit. The next day its sister died. I asked my vet and he says they were probably poisoned. We have a pregnant dog as well and today she vomited, won't eat and is less lively than she was yesterday. Is this normal for pregnant dogs or do you think she got sick from the other dogs. Her vomit was mostly water and mucus no blood.

Hi, thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! I am so sorry, this is a horrifying story! I agree that either this was a toxin or my other thought was parvo virus. If the puppies and Daisy are not fully vaccinated then parvo is very likely. Toxins can be from malicious causes, contaminated food or the dogs got in to something. I do not think what Daisy is doing is normal. Since you can at least communicate with your vet I would see if they can come to you if you can't take Daisy to them. They can at least do an exam and maybe draw blood they can send out or take back to the clinic with them. I would otherwise start feeding Daisy a bland diet of boiled chicken or hamburger with rice. And I recommend bringing her indoors, even if it is the garage (remove all toxins, poisons and anti-freeze). I hope this helps and I wish Daisy the best!
