My 8wk old pup who's had no shots got into some sewage water and has since thrown up twice and now won't stop pacing and whining. What should I do? He has eaten and drank water but the pacing and whining won't stop.

He is probably suffering from an upset stomach as well as a gastrointestinal infection due to the sewage water. withhold food for 6-8 hours and see if the vomiting and pacing are still present, if the answer is yes then you will have to take him to the vet to get treated.
