I just adopted a chihuahua/pekingese mix from a shelter 6 days ago. Since then, he's been having mixed consistencies in his stool (ranging from yellowish, squirting diarrhea to brown loose diarrhea to dark brown/black solid stool-all in random order). On top of that, he's been VERY sleepy and lazy, always falling asleep rather than playing around. He also has no desire for his chew toys or biscuits. He also doesn't eat or drink much. I started feeding him canned food, and he eats a little bit of that. His nose is also runny (clear, watery) and he seems to be sneezing/coughing alot. Just a few days ago, he started vomiting thick, mucousy vomit with food (it was more like he coughed it up really hard, because it sprayed). I took him to the vet, who did some tests, but all came back negative. Nothing's changed with the antibiotics he's on. He's about 5 weeks old, and already received his first set of vaccinations. I don't know what's wrong with him? Will he get over it soon? Thanks!
