What is wrong with my puppy2007-11-25 2:53:18

Has the puppy had it's shots? Even if he has had a Parvo shot there is still no guarantee that he hasn't contracted Parvo. If he had the virus prior to the shot the shot may not work.

Parvo is a very very nasty virus and can kill a puppy in no time.

Keeping the animal hydrated is a MUST and it is hard to do when they are vomiting and having diarrhea. A diarrhea stool that stinks worse than any smell you have smelled before and has mucos in it is generally a Parvo stool and a sure sign that the dog has it.

If your puppy can't/won't even keep water down needs to have IV fluids so it is imperative that you find a vet of some kind.

Try giving the puppy some room temperature milk. This will ease the sick tummy and it will provide some kind of fluid and will help to slow down the diarrhea. . . if he takes it and keeps it down.

Check your Yellow Pages for a 24hr Emergency Vet Clinic and even if your local vets are closed,they usually have someone on call so don't let the fact that their offices are closed deter you. . . . Stay on that phone until you find someone to take the puppy NOW or you may not have a puppy come daylight.

P.S. And YES. . . Keep us updated as to what happens.

check his pupils(the black spot between the colored part), if they are dilelated(one being bigger than the other), then it is possiable that he ate something he should not have and is allergic to it, or even worse, he could have swallowed something poisoniss. also, if you have given him medicine or if he has recently gotten a shot of some kind (especially rabies shots), he maybe allergic to that, because my previous dog got really sick after her rabies shots. she eventally got better, but was never the same. ask your vet when he is back in, but this is the advice the i can give you from my own personal experice. but i can asure you this, if he does not see a vet soon and get medical attention, he could die.

Well one thing that you can do is give him some Pepto-Bismol庐 For dogs only. Relieve vomiting or stomach gas, diarrhea. 1 tsp. per 20 Lbs. Every 6 hours. This will help you until you can get to the vet. If there is any blood in the stool or vomit then you may want to take him to the vet emergency. Also if you think that he drank of chemicals then give him Mineral Oil, Eliminate constipation. Dogs: up to 4 Tbls.
