My puppy is frequently vomiting white foam. It refuses to have anything. Having diarrhoea also.....feels very lethargic.... there are times, it refuses to walk.....she is being treated with injections, drip glucose, but I am not getting any positive response...... she is trying to drink water from drains, but refuses to drink the clean water that we provide.

Hello. I am so sorry that your puppy is so sick. The medications she is receiving are fine, but really need to be administered in a hospital situation, But I can understand the constraints & difficulties you have with veterinary care in your country. Lousie may have parvo or distemper, diseases that are difficult to treat even under the best circumstances. I would at least try to keep her confined so that she only has access to clean water. You can try giving her chicken or beef broths or stocks, too. All we can do with these very young patients is to hospitalize & administer the proper treatments. Without this, just keep her warm & dry & keep her away from dirty drains & hopefully with time, she will begin to improve. Good luck & thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach.
