My puppy ate too much, now he's throwing up and lethargic. What to do?

Question

My 11 week old Australian shepard started throwing up his food last night. He is a glutton and got into the dog food bag. Today he isnt eating or drinking. Ive been giving him a tablespoon of water every 15 mins. Hes peeing and follows me around but is very lethargic and just lays down when i stop walking. Pet's info: Dog | Australian Shepherd | Male | unneutered | 7 months and 6 days old | 8 lbs

Poor Helix! He likely ate way too much food and is now hurting. If he hasn't arleady, he will likely start having diarrhea soon. I would not feed him until tonight. You can try a small amount of plain boiled boneless skinless chicken and white rice to see if he will eat. If he still won't eat, I would have your vet take a look at him. Your vet will be able to give him meds to help him feel better and also make sure he isn't developing pancreatitis. Keep a close eye on him and I hope this helps.
