My dog has diarrhea and vomiting but is still active. What to do?

Question

My 1 year old German Shepherd had had diarrhea all day and just threw up right now (about 24 hours after his first diarrhea episode). I've given him scrambled eggs so far which seemed to help for a few hours. He is still in high spirits, and has been drinking water. What should I do from this point?

Hi, and thanks for your question. I would suggest to withhold food for the next 8-12 hours and then start feeding with a bland diet based on boiled chicken and rice in small portion every 6 hours for the following 48hours. Then gradually reintroduce the normal diet over 5 days. I would definitively recommend a veterinary check up if the signs persist or you notice more diarrhoea, more vomiting, lethargy or inappetence.
