Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed | Male | 1 month and 23 days old

Hi Doctor, I am from Ghaziabad. I have German Shepherd around 1.5 months old and his weight is 2kg 400g. 4/June/2019 my dog was suffering from Diarrhea. That time, he had a potty problem and trying to vomit but nothing came out in his mouth. On 5/June/2019, normal vomit issue and yellow potty with white color(like cerelac) and some liquid also. After that, I took my dog to the Doctor. The doctor said, your dog is suffering from Gastrointestinal disease so, not to give food and water and tie this

Vomiting and diarrhea in a puppy can have a variety of causes, including intestinal parasites, inappropriate diet, bacterial or viral infection, among others. If the vet's treatment did not work, then I would recommend taking Shadow back to the vet for re-evaluation and testing. Common testing procedures would include blood work, x-rays, parvo testing, and fecal intestinal parasite screening.
