Why is my 7-month-old dog sick, vomiting, and not eating?

Updated On September 23rd, 2025

Pet's info: Dog | Collie | Male | unneutered | 7 months and 22 days old | 26 lbs

My dog is 7 months old up to date on wormers etc however the last few days he's been off his food and today I woke up he had been sick and peed in his crate which he never does, he's been sick twice in total mainly food but he's not eating or drinking I've tried ice cubes he's till bubbly at times but then he just crashes which is not like him as he is a collie he is very lively....what shall I do?

Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach. I am sorry to hear Merlin isn’t feeling well. I recommend taking him to a vet or an exam. They may need to take an X-ray to look for an obstruction or test him for parvovirus. I am concerned he is vomiting because he can dehydrate quickly. They can give him medications to help the vomiting and fluids to prevent further dehydration. Good luck and kisses to Merlin!
