Poor Remi! The signs you are describing can be caused by a foreign body, intestinal parasites, or viral infection such as parvovirus - unfortunately, puppies are predisposed to all of these conditions. I recommend having Remi seen by a vet as soon as possible, especially because she may become dehydrated from vomiting and not eating. I hope all is well and am happy to answer any other questions you may have. Thank you for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach!

Hi and welcome to Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach. I am worried about Penny. There are many possible causes of loss of appetite and vomiting. These can be intestinal parasites, foreign body obstruction, gastroenteritis and even metabolic diseases (ie kidney, liver disease). As there are many causes of loss of appetite I recommend seeing a veterinarian for more diagnostics, some of these would be bloodwork and even x-rays. Some questions that may be helpful is if she is vaccinated? Does she like to chew on toys? Does she eat people food? Due to Penny's size I would recommend following up for those diagnostics as soon as possible. In the meantime try offering a chicken and rice diet or even chicken/turkey baby food. Good luck with Penny!

He could have an infection, parasite, obstruction, malabsorption problem, metabolic disease, congenital issue, etc so he needs to be examined by a vet to determine the cause and treat. A vet can run some laboratory tests to help diagnose and then prescribe medications to treat. He may also need some fluids to help prevent dehydration. We can’t prescribe medications through this forum and there needs to be a diagnosis in order to prescribe the correct medications. You can offer him a bland intestinal diet (commercial diet or chicken and white rice) and see if you can get him to eat. Please call a vet and have him treated.
