Hi there and thanks for your post! Sorry to hear Nox has been vomiting and experiencing some diarrhea lately. There can be many medical causes for her symptoms such as a parasitic infection, bacterial or infection, pancreatitis, or perhaps eating something she shouldn't such as a object or human food. I would recommend Nox see her veterinarian for an exam and a fecal test to help determine what the cause may be. Your veterinarian may run additional diagnostic testing as needed depending on what your veterinarian suspects it may be after an exam. I would be sure to bring a fecal sample with you to your appointment so it can be tested if needed. In the mean time, you can try giving Nox a bland diet of boiled chicken, plain rice, and plain canned pumpkin (not the pie filling) to help settle her stomach a bit. I hope this helps and thanks again for posting! Best wishes to you and Nox!
