Puppies with out parvo can generally eat before taking their meds but it can mean they may throw up the food. You are generally off better waiting until after they have their meds if it is a short time (30 minutes or so). You should be feeding small meals more frequently. It also needs to be a bland diet. I recommend the Royal Canin Gastrointestinal Puppy. You could also feed a homemade bland diet if you can't get an appropriate commercial diet. A bland diet can consist of 25% boiled white meat chicken and 75% boiled white rice. This should all be plain. Your veterinarian is probably though the best person to provide guidance for Raider. I hope he starts feeling better quickly! Please feel free to post any additional questions.
