My dog is throwing up and acting lethargic. What should I do?

He should be examined by a vet to determine the cause, especially if he is lethargic. He could have an infection, parasite, pancreatitis, kidney disease, liver disease, endocrine disease, obstruction/foreign body. Your vet can run labwork and take xrays to help diagnose and prescibe medications to treat. He may need fluids to prevent dehydration and medications to control the vomiting.

It always concerns me when young puppies get lethargic. Puppies are more susceptible to the effects of dehydration and hypoglycemia (low blood sugar) than adult dogs, so diarrhea is more serious for Wallace than it would be for an adult dog. If he's back to acting normally, eating, drinking, and doesn't have further diarrhea or vomiting, it's perfectly fine to continue monitoring him at home. However, if he remains lethargic, has more mucousy diarrhea, begins to vomit, or refuses to eat or drink normal amounts, then you should have him examined by his vet. Your vet will need to do a physical exam. Depending on their suspicions based on their exam findings, they may recommend some diagnostic testing or may opt to start him on some medications. Possible causes of this type of issue include stomach upset from a virus, intestinal parasites, among many other issues. If your vet finds that Wallace is dehydrated, they'll also be able to give him some fluids. I hope that he feels better soon!

Your pup is so cute, but I'm sorry that he isn't doing well! There could be a number of things causing his symptoms such as parvovirus if he isn't fully vaccinated, GI illness, eating something rotten, a foreign body, or pancreatitis among others. Given that he has been vomiting and has been lethargic since Sunday and isn't getting better, I'd recommend a vet visit for him right away. The vet can diagnose what is causing his symptoms, and can treat him for it. Please take him into a vet now.

Possible causes of vomiting include GI illness, eating something rotten, a foreign body, or a pancreatitis. Without seeing him in person, I can't say for certain what is causing his vomiting, but I can say that when a dog is vomiting for longer than 24 hours, it's time to see a vet. I would take Scooby into a vet now to diagnose what is causing his vomiting so he can be treated. I hope this helps!

I am sorry to hear about Tiddles. It sounds like he needs veterinary care if he is lethargic and cannot keep water down. We worry in dogs with his symptoms about infections, pancreatitis, foreign body ingestion, and more. The vet will examine him and may recommend testing such as fecal testing, bloodwork or x-ray depending on his symptoms. He may need IV fluids to help rehydrate him and special injectable medications initially since he is vomiting.

Vomiting can be a sign of a number of different problems ranging from minor issues like eating a non-food item from the yard to more serious diseases. Sometimes after vomiting dogs can feel nauseous or weak, so I wouldn't be too concerned about Poochie not responding to his name unless he also seems disoriented or extremely lethargic. If the vomiting continues or he continues to act very abnormal you should see an emergency veterinarian. While it is probably okay to drink a little water I wouldn't encourage him to drink too much as this can sometimes trigger more vomiting.

No, the questions aren’t linked. I will usually be okay with an upset tummy for 24 hours, so if it’s been longer than that, Quintana should probably see the vet. The green means that her stomach is empty and she is starting to pull fluid from the upper small intestine (where bile enters). The vet may recommend a Parvo test, bloodwork, or x-rays to see what is causing her sickness, and can make an appropriate treatment plan when they have a better idea of the cause of her vomiting.

In a young puppy with vomiting and lethargy our main concerns include GI parasites, parvo virus, GI foreign body (i.e. dog ate a piece of a toy, fabric, rock, etc.), or dietary indiscretion (i.e. eating something they aren't used to, like a new treat or food from the trash). It would be safest to have your puppy see the veterinarian for an exam and to test for intesitnal parasites and parvo virus. If these are negative, the vet may recommend an x-ray or may treat your dog symptomatically (with anti-vomiting injections) depending on the exam and history.

I am sorry to hear about Sam. It sounds like he is not feeling well at all. There are many different possible causes of vomiting in dogs. Some of the most common include ingestion of foreign objects, pancreatitis, ingestion of toxins, gastroenteritis, and more. You can read about vomiting at https://www.petcoach.co/article/vomiting-in-dogs/ . Due to the fact that he is very lethargic I would recommend taking him in to see a vet as soon as possible- to an emergency clinic if one is in your area if you feel he is very lethargic and continues to vomit. Do not offer anymore food and water tonight as he will likely just vomit it back up. The vet will examine him and may recommend x-rays or bloodwork to help determine a cause for vomiting and will most likely give injectable medication to stop the vomiting and IV fluids to help rehydrate poor Same.

Throwing up can have many causes. It is basically a problem with the stomach and intestines caused by a food over sensitivity, eating something that does not agree with the dog, intestinal parasites, bacterial infection, viral infection, bowel obstruction, the weather, food change, stress, etc. Fast Peggy for 12 hours and then put her on bland food for a day or two, such as boiled white rice and boiled white boneless chicken meat, fed in small quantities over several feeds and then transition back to her regular food slowly over a few days. If this does not clear up the vomiting withina day or if the vomiting increases, or if she gets lethargic, he needs to see a veterinarian for an exam as there may be something more serious such as an infection or a bowel obstruction going on.
