It sounds like it's time to take Blaze to the vet. Whenever we have severe diarrhea associated with vomiting or lethargy (sleeping more), it's worrisome. Hopefully your vet will be able to figure out what is going on, make sure Blaze is not dehydrated, and give him medication to help get him feeling better. Good luck! I hope that was helpful. Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center.

Poor Oreo! That is very concerning that all he wants to do is sleep and is vomiting and having diarrhea. He really needs to be examined by a vet to determine the cause. It could be related to his fall or it could be caused by an infection, parasites, etc. Your vet can run lab work and take x-rays, if needed, to help diagnose and then determine the best way to treat, depending on the diagnosis. Please call your vet and have him seen as soon as possible. Hope he feels better soon!
