Poor pup! He should see a vet right away, as it's recommended to see one when a dog is both vomiting and having diarrhea. He could have a severe GI illness, may have eaten something rotten, have pancreatitis, or a foreign body. I would take him into a vet now, who can diagnose what is causing his symptoms and treat accordingly.

Poor Bodie! He could have an infection, parasite, pancreatitis, or an upset stomach from something he ate. Since he seems to have abdominal pain and is uncomfortable, he should be examined by a vet to determine the cause and treat. Your vet can prescribe an anti-nausea and anti-diarrhea medication, dewormer, antibiotic, antacid, gastrointestinal protectant, an/or other medications to help treat his problem. It would also be a good idea to take a stool sample so your vet can test it for parasites. Hope he feels better soon!

I can't really understand the handwriting on those notes but if he is not getting better with treatment then your vet needs to do additional diagnostics. Your vet could run blood work, fecal test, and take abdominal x-rays to help determine the cause of his persistent vomiting. He could have an infection, parasite, or an intestinal obstruction causing the vomiting. If your vet still can't diagnose and treat the problem then you could take him to a specialist for an abdominal ultrasound or an exploratory surgery could be performed to look for the cause. Hope she gets better soon!

Poor Cooper! I am very concerned about him as he looks very sick. He could have an infection, parasite, intestinal obstruction, or a metabolic/endocrine disease causing his problems. He needs to have a full work-up to determine the cause with blood-work, parasite testing, and abdominal x-rays. Based on his condition he really should be hospitalized on IV fluids and medications to control the vomiting until a diagnosis can be determined.
