Honey is 14 weeks old and from what I was told still at risk for parvo. She vomited tonight. Is there anything I need to watch for in her vomit? It has only happened once and was not a ton.

Poor little puppy! I can give you a home remedy for Honey to see if that helps, as well as some things to look out for in terms of symptoms of parvo. Withhold food for 6 hours, then feed a bland diet of boiled white meat chicken (no bones) and white rice in small amounts several times a day for a couple of days. Then slowly add back in her normal diet. If the vomiting continues in the absence of food, she vomits the bland diet, develops diarrhea, she has blood in her feces, stops drinking water, starts vomiting water, or becomes very lethargic, she will need to see a vet right away. I hope this helps!

Hi, thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! I am not sure I fully understand your question. I am assuming that Choot has Parvo virus and he is no longer vomiting or defecating (was having diarrhea) but is still not eating well and only taking dextrose powder? If he is recovering from Parvo and is no longer vomiting that is a good sign he is likely getting better. I would ask your Vet for syringes and a canned food you can blenderize and force feed Choot. You can slowly and gently syringe the canned food in to his mouth. The key now is to get food in him and allow recovery of his intestinal lining. Hopefully with in a few days he will then start eating on his own. I hope this helps and I wish Choot a continued recovery!

Puppies with out parvo can generally eat before taking their meds but it can mean they may throw up the food. You are generally off better waiting until after they have their meds if it is a short time (30 minutes or so). You should be feeding small meals more frequently. It also needs to be a bland diet. I recommend the Royal Canin Gastrointestinal Puppy. You could also feed a homemade bland diet if you can't get an appropriate commercial diet. A bland diet can consist of 25% boiled white meat chicken and 75% boiled white rice. This should all be plain. Your veterinarian is probably though the best person to provide guidance for Raider. I hope he starts feeling better quickly! Please feel free to post any additional questions.

It really depends on the clinical signs and condition of your puppy. If the puppy is vomiting than he probably will just vomit up the food. If he is able to keep food down without vomiting than you could feed a small amount of a bland diet and see how he does. He may need intravenous or subcutaneous fluids, anti-vomiting medications, and an antibiotic so he should be treated by a vet.
