This is a medical emergency and Pansy needs to see a vet now. I would be very concerned she could have parvovirus causing her symptoms. She sounds very sick, and veterinary care is needed for her right away. Best of luck.

    Yes, I would be concerned, as it's not normal for a puppy to have diarrhea for a couple of days, and to then start vomiting. I would have Sasha seen by a vet today. These symptoms could be caused by GI illness, eating something rotten, intestinal parasites, a foreign body, or parvovirus (even though you haven't seen blood in it). The vet can do a physical exam, blood tests to check for parvo and to see if infection is present, and a urinalysis to diagnose what is causing her symptoms so she can be treated.

    I am sorry to hear about Itty Bitty! In young dogs we worry especially about ingestion of foreign objects such as toys, socks, trash that can cause blockages. We also worry about ingestion of things outside that cause gastritis, and we do worry about parvo virus if they did not have their full series of vaccines (you mention she did finish her vaccines, so hopefully she is protected). Since she is lethargic and won't eat and drink I would recommend bringing her into the vet. They can examine her and may recommend an x-ray to ensure she doesn't have any signs of a blockage. They can give her injections to help with nausea and vomiting and any other treatment they feel necessary based on her examination.

    I would take Remi into an ER vet or find a vet on call to see her now. At her age, she won't be vaccinated and her symptoms could be caused by parvovirus. Parvo is a deadly disease with no cure, only symptomatic treatment, and it requires intensive hospitalization in order to give the puppy the best chance of survival. Other causes of her symptoms include a severe GI illness, eating something rotten, and a foreign body. The vet can diagnose what is causing her symptoms and can treat her. Please take her into a vet now.
