Dogs with vomiting and diarrhea that are not improving within 24 hours should be seen by a veterinarian. Intestinal foreign body, intestinal parasites, and parvovirus are among the common causes in young dogs. I would encourage you to have her evaluated by your veterinarian as soon as possible. X-rays and possibly blood work may be recommended to help determine the diagnosis. Best of luck and I hope she improves soon. Thank you for using Pet Coach.
