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

My daschund puppy is 12 weeks old and just started having serious diarhea and is hacking like he needs to vomit. I read symptoms on the net and it said it could be canine distemper or even parvo. He is still playing around like nothing is wrong and still is eating strong. Should I go to the emergency room or could this be something minor that I don't know about. Thanks for any help.

Answers:

If he isn't better by morning, then he needs to see a vet. Puppies dehydrate SO quickly when they have diarrhea.

It may be something as simple as something he ate, or worms, if he hasn't been wormed well, but it could be something as serious (deadly) as Parvo, or other virus.

If he is still playing, and not lethargic, then it can wait until morning.

Go to the emergency and be on the safe side. It can be parvo. Only a vet can determine it.

You wouldn't want to loose the little one on this , would you?

:(

Has any one feed the puppy CHOColate? Or has he gotten into any Chocolate? Chocolate is deadly to dogs!! Puppy eat and chew on anything and everything. Even fishing hooks. Take him to a Vet NOW!

has he been vaccinated for anything, if not don't take him out and about so much, until he is, stop food until you see a vet first thing when they open, or contact 24 hr vet for advice at least. if his spirits are good, and he seems himself other than diarrhea, just no food and little water til vet visit first thing- if the diarrhea has a strangely bad odor, nothing like regular dog poop, is dar, dark brown or almost a black or eggplant color --thats not good, look at the poop, is there blood in it? that is a parvo sign, distemper is not common in domestic dogs, but could be if not vaccintated- pls try to find 24 hr vet in your area - live in calif, and theres one here 805.466.3880, can't hurt to call for advice if you can't find one in your area

Take your puppy to the vet, NOW. Take the pup's food with you.

i would say get him to the vets, yes puppy's can have a loose tummy for many reasons but it can also be very serious, the puppy can be dehydrated and become very poorly with just having these symptoms with out the diseases you mentioned and can still be fatal
