Thank you for submitting your question regarding Trigger. I recommend that he sees his veterinarian. Being such a small dog, I am concerned that he is dehydrated by now. His veterinarian will examine him and determine if testing is needed such as fecal testing and possibly bloodwork. From there, treatment will be started to make him feel better. He may need fluids, anti-nausea medication and/or antibiotics to stop the diarrhea. I hope this information helps!

    Poor guy. Trigger is too ill and needs to see a vet immediately. SOme possibel causes for his illness includes: a foreign body obstruction or partial obstruction, parvovirus, or a severe bacterial infection. He needs injectable medications that he won't vomit back up and also some tests to find out the underlying cause for his illness. I hope that your pet Trigger is able to make a full and speedy recovery soon! Best wishes and take care.
