Updated On September 23rd, 2025

Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed Medium (23 - 60lb) | Female | unspayed | 40 lbs

My dog had her puppies the 15 and 16 of this month. She ate 16 morning and then that night. She vomited on the 17 and has yet to keep anything down. She is now vomited bile. She just looks miserable. Not disoriented. What should I do?

Hi, and thanks for your question. This is a quite generic but concerning presentation. Differentials are many, from gastrointestinal or urogenital tract diseases (infection/inflammations often dietary related or related to a uterine infection) to any disease that can spread systemically (causing lethargy for example) like infection, and anything that can cause pain/discomfort. The approach must be logic, starting from offering different kind of food. A check up is needed if inappetence lasts for more than 12hours (so I think it would be best to have her checked asap). Hope this answer was helpful, but please do not hesitate to contact us again on the forum or by requesting a consultation if you have any more questions or to discuss it any further. Please find the time to give us a feedback about the consultation as that will be used to improve our service.
