Yes. A young dog being sick like that more than 24 hours can dehydrate & die. She could have eaten something poison, have something stuck in her stomach or intestines, have parvovirus or any number of things, but 3 days is too long to be vomiting & having diarrhea. Please take her to your vet as soon as possible, this is a true emergency situation. Good luck.

Yes, you need to take your puppy to vet ASAP
It is an Emergency. I got a Mini schnauzer 8 months ago.
I did get her when she was a baby. As soon as she was throwing up I called the vet. They asked me is she is puppy I said yes and they said since she is a puppy it is AN EMERGENCY.. Bring her in right away... They will most likely give the dog a shot in the buttocks and put the doggy on some pills. Then you will have to give her dry food like boiled rice or boiled chicken.
Give the doggy a kiss for me..

YES!!! Take her asap! Vomiting & diarrhea are very serious symptoms, especially for puppies! She will become dehydrated very quickly (she probably is already if it's been going on for 3 days) so she needs immediate care! She may have parvo or distemper and if it isn't treated soon she won't make it! Keep any other dogs you may have away from her as these diseases are EXTREMELY contagious, especially to young dogs. Go to the vet now!!

It would be best to take her to a vet right away. Especially since it has been 3 days. Is she still lively?
I had the same experience with a 2 month old puppy long ago and took her to the vet right away and it turned out she had parvo...

If he is 2 months old, he is probably only on round 2 of shots. There could be a lot of things going on with this puppy. -Have you taken him around strange dogs lately? Let him out to pee in a public area? With only 2 rounds of shots he could have contracted a serious illness. It is good he is going to the vet, and they will likely do a parvo test. -I had a 2 month old puppy puking and with water-jet diarrhea. It turned out to be parasites (she got medicine for both giardia and coccidia, cleared up after a day of taking them). It could be parasites flaring up after stress. -It could be the food. It could be the frontline. It is good you are going to the vet. Good luck.

Yes, you should take your puppy to the vet as soon as possible. Animals, just like human babies and small children; can get dangerously dehydrated very quickly. The animals entire system will begin to shut down and they can end up with non-repairable liver and kidney damage. Best of luck with your pup. I'll say a prayer for you both.

take her to the vet now. Call their emergency number. Usually their normal number will take u through to an answering machine, and this will give you the emergency number. Your puppy could be dehydrating by now, but don't give her too much water as this will encourage her to be sick again. The vet may give you Lectade, a powder to mix with water to rehydrate the pup.
Hope she's ok.

Yes, it could be she ate something she shouldn't have, my puppy ate some wood chips outside and her vomit was similar, take her so her vet could give her the right medication to make her feel better, especially with the weekend coming up, myself personally I'd rather take my dog to her vet than the pet ER.

Yes I would for sure
I am sure you really love your pup, and wouldn't want her to be sick if she didn't have to be. She can't tell you she wants to go to the vet so you have to make an executive decision, and if you take her in and it isn't an emergency.... that's OK no harm done, but if it is and you dont take her... it could be very sad.
Best of luck to you and your pup =)
