Updated On September 23rd, 2025

Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed Medium (23 - 60lb) | Female | unspayed | 11 months and 15 days old | 40 lbs

My 11-month-old puppy ate sticks and threw up the sticks and grass yesterday. Today she is hot to the touch and she is lethargic and can't keep anything down food or water should I continue to try to feed her? It may take a few days for me to get to the vet unfortunately what can I do to ease her discomfort if she continues to throw up should I continue to try to give her food and water I'm very worried she's very hot to the touch and very lethargic.

Hi, you need to have Arya checked over sooner than in a couple of days as she might deteriorate to the point of not being able to get better. I would not feed her and just offer small amounts of water little and often every half an hour and book an appointment to get her checked over.
