My puppy is vomiting, has diarrhea, and won't eat. What should I do?

Updated On September 23rd, 2025

Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed | Female | spayed | 6 lbs

We adopted two female puppies from the shelter a week & 3 days ago, they are about 2mo & 1w old now. They've had 1st round of parvo shots & been fixed. They developed kennel cough so we have been giving them meds they provided. Last day of meds is today.One is much better, now the other is having diarrhea throwing up & not eating but drinks some water.they both were a little wormy but the strongid T we had on hand cleared it up. as of today the smaller one isn't doing well. Anything we can do?

Hello. I’m sorry they are having problems. I am concerned that the vomiting and diarrhea may be from a viral or bacterial infection. Young puppies are susceptible to viruses like Parvo and others. It would be best to have them examined by your veterinarian. They may want to test for Parvo and they can also help with anti nausea medications, fluids, etc.
