Hey puppy won't eat and has thrown up. We have a vet appointment for tomorrow morning. Is there anything that can help get water in her?

Hello. It is best not to force anything into a vomiting pet. This could just cause her to vomit more. She will not become seriously dehydrated if you are going to have her examined tomorrow. What you can try is to rub some Karo syrup on her gums, perhaps a teaspoon or two every few hours. This will help to keep her energy levels up, but is she vomits even after you do this, then it is best just to leave her be until your vet can evaluate her tomorrow. Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach.
