I am so sorry to hear that Coco is sick. At 8 weeks old my biggest concerns would be parvovirus, intestinal parasites, and something called intussusception. This is where the intestine telescopes on itself and causes a functional obstruction. I would highly encourage you to have a follow up appointment or seek a second opinion. An 8 week old puppy will become dehydrated and decompensate quickly without supportive care. IV fluids, anti nausea medications and anti diarrhea meds would be a good plan while the diagnostics are Being run to identify the problem such as fecal Exams, parvo test, CBC, And probably repeat x-rays. Best of luck and I hope Coco improves soon. Thank you for using Pet Coach.

    I am sorry Lil Bit is not feeling well. With a younger dog I think it is important to always take them to the vet to make sure they are not getting dehydrated and not seriously ill. In a younger dog I do worry about parasites, virus, bacteria and even eating something they shouldn't. A vet can help you determine what is the cause of the vomiting and how to resolve it. I hope that helps
