Hi, I have a 10 month old male Yorkshire terrier. He has been vomiting and now has developed diarrhea, medicine has not helped and I'm not sure what the cause could be. When food is removed he is fine but once food is given he cannot keep it down

Thank you for submitting your question regarding Bentley. I recommend that he sees his veterinarian again as his symptoms are worrisome. He should have x-rays of his belly to rule out an intestinal obstruction. He should also have bloodwork to test him for pancreatitis as this is very common in his breed. Based on these results, an updated treatment plan can be made. I hope this information helps!
