My puppy is sick: vomiting, diarrhea, weak. Is it an emergency?

It could be due to a food switch, but your puppy sounds very ill. When a puppy is this sick, it's an emergency and she has to see a vet now. Please take her into an ER vet clinic; if there isn't one in your area, there will be a vet on call for emergencies. The information to reach that vet is found on a clinic's answering machine or website. Best of luck.

Ty-Shu sounds very sick, and he needs to see a vet now. Please take him into an ER vet clinic; if there isn't one in your area, there will be a vet on call for emergencies. The information to reach that vet is found on a clinic's answering machine or website. Best of luck.

I hate to hear that Xenia is not feeling well. As I am sure the vet told you today, there are many things that can cause the signs. Parasites, bacterial over growth, viral infections, eating something she should not have, organ disease...these are just a few things. Without any further details, it’s hard to say but most vets will test for parasites and parvo virus and go from there. Parvo virus is a big concern as it can be fatal. Being a puppy, there are concerns with low blood sugar occurring if she is not eating. Signs of low blood sugar are disorientation, trouble walking or seizures. If you see any of the signs, this is an emergency and she needs to go to the veterinarian immediately. Try to offer her canned puppy food, boiled white meat chicken and boiled white rice and even babyfood (check the ingredients to make sure there is no onions or garlic, grapes or raisins as these are toxic to dogs). There is also a special canned food made by Royal Canin called Recovery formula and m

Poor Clyde sounds so ill! He could have parvovirus, a severe GI illness, may have eaten something rotten, or could have a foreign body. I would consider his symptoms a medical emergency, and he needs to see a vet now. Please take him into an ER vet clinic; if there isn't one in your area, there will be a vet on call for emergencies. The information to reach that vet is found on a clinic's answering machine or website.

Jade sounds very sick, and it could be she has something serious like a pyometra. A pyometra is an infection of the uterus that is fatal without treatment. She needs to see a vet now. Please take her into an ER vet clinic; if there isn't one in your area, there will be a vet on call for emergencies. The information to reach that vet is found on a clinic's answering machine or website.

Poor Mac! This sounds very serious and I would recommend immediately taking Mac to an emergency veterinary clinic tonight for more treatment. There are many issues that could be going on here, so the emergency clinic may want to run to bloodwork, take x-rays, and put an intravascular catheter in his arm and start some IV fluids. Unfortunately, this is not an issue that you can safely treat at home.

A sudden change in diet can lead to these GI symptoms, but so can an illness. It's quite serious that she's now not eating, is lethargic, and won't eat the bland diet. I think she is sick enough to require a vet visit immediately. Please take her into an ER vet clinic; if there isn't one in your area, there will be a vet on call for emergencies.

Hi. Poor Bela. Unfortunately there isn't anything we can do from home that will help Bela. If she isn't improving, I would get her in to the ER clinic right away. She will eventually become dehydrated and will most likely need hospitalization. In puppies with vomiting and diarrhea, we worry about parasites, and a viral intestinal infection called parvo. The latter can become very serious without appropriate supportive care and medications. Please contact the emergency clinic or head there as soon as you can.

Thank you for submitting your question regarding Winston. If he either refuses food or starts vomiting again when he wake up, he will need to see an emergency veterinarian today. He is so young that you do not want to wait long if he is ill. It is very easy for him to become dehydrated. If he seems better when he wakes up, you can monitor him today and follow up with his regular veterinarian. I hope this information helps!

It is not an emergency in this precise moment unless Lucy is lethargic and uncomfortable. I would recommend that she is checked over first thing in the morning or as soon as your vet is open as she will benefit with some medications that promote gut motility and some pain relief, as well as symptomatical treatment for the diarrhoea. She could also start to be dehydrated, so I would really suggest for her to be checked over.
