My 6 month old puppy has explosive diarrhea and has thrown up 3 times. He's a little shakey but other then that he's acting normal. He has no fever and he's Drinking water. I already have a vet apt scheduled for Thursday. Does he need to go in sooner? I'm really worried!

With hold food for six to twelve hours to have his intestinal tract calm down. If he becomes lethargic or the diarrhea becomes bloody or with a lot of mucus then take him in right away. Give small amounts of water every hour, if he drinks too much at one time that may make the vomiting continue. Keep him quiet and let him rest also.

Hi there and thanks for your post! Vomiting can have many causes in puppies- parasitic or viral infections, obstructions, or dietary indiscretion or eating something out of the ordinary among other causes. I would recommend restrict feeding Max for the next 8 hours or so (he can have water). If he continues to vomit or vomits again after his fast, then I would have him seen by a veterinarian. I hope this helps and thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach!

I would monitor her for lethargy, decreased appetite, diarrhea, abdominal pain (pain if you press on belly, trouble getting comfortable, going down into prayer position with front legs down and bottom up in air), or continued vomiting, or blood in vomit or stool. If these signs occur, she should see her vet!

I'm sorry Julio is so sick! He could be suffering from a GI illness, may have eaten something rotten, could have a foreign body, or could have pancreatitis. When a dog has been vomiting for longer than 24 hours, it's time to see a vet. I would have him seen by a vet right away to diagnose what is causing his vomiting so he can be treated. Good luck, I hope this helps!
