Answer 1

Take him to the VET NOW! a puppy that hasn't eatten in days and is throwing up is SICK! Could have parvo which is DEADLY in most cases.

Answer 2

It may be Coccidia , it causes diarreah , its an weird germ that affects puppies under the age of 14 weeks. Its simple to fix with some basic antibiotics. They can get it anywhere so dont blame the gal , However I thought it was the law you cannot Sell/ Give away a puppy under 8 weeks of age ( Basicly because they have weak immune systems and catch things ) . While waiting for your Vet , give 2 tbs Apple Cider Viniager in the water ( Helps with Diarreah and cleaning up bad bacteria) , Give about 1 tbs Peanut butter, and about 1/2 Imodium ( Adult size green tab ) . This warrents a Vet visit, while there , Do not let them give him a Shot ! Many people /Vets forget that you should not vaccinate an ill animal or people. Do get your antibiotics and go back when he is feeling better. Good Luck !!

Go to the vet NOW or your puppy may die. If he hasn't eaten in 3 or 4 days and is throwing up that is very bad. He could have a blockage in his intestines.

Deal with the peeing issue later.

Answer 4

Take him to the vet IMMEDIATELY. If he hasn't eaten and is throwing up, he probably has hookworms and needs medicine. You may just need to change his food to comply with his dietary restrictions, but he's very likely sick. Do not put off going to the vet any longer.

As for the constant peeing, he just needs to be housetrained. You need to let him know what is okay and what is not. Some people have water spray guns that they use. I've learned that a firm "NO" and taking him outside to show him where to pee, plus lots of praise when he goes in the right area, works very well (at least with my dog). If it continues to be a problem, people use doggy training pads with puppies. You can put it near the door and it helps them to learn that there is a place where it is okay to pee, and lots of places where it is not.

Good luck.

Answer 5

You NEED to take this dog to a vet NOW. This is an emergency. PUppies can become dehydrated VERY quickly when they are vomiting. He could possibly have an obstruction from the wood he is eating. He might also have parvo if hes not eating and throwing up like that. It's a possibility. Please take him to the vet asap. Don't try to treat this at home or you might end up with a dead puppy.

Answer 6

First, he needs to see a vet to check for parasites and a UTI. Also, a full exam, since he very well could have chewed and swallowed a piece of wood (or some other foreign item) and it could very well be stuck anywhere from his stomach to his intestinal tract.

Please tell me that you have had him to the vet for regular vaccines, right? At 15 weeks old, he should only need one more series prior to his neutering.

It does sound like he may have a UTI and a foreign body stuck internally, making him throw up. get him to a vet ASAP!

Answer 7

Take him to the vet! Lots of puppys get sick from HYpoglycemia (Low Blood Sugar) his is very low if hes not eating.

The first signs are listlessness and depression. They are followed by muscular weakness, vomiting and / or diarrhea, tremors (especially in the facial muscles), and later convulsions, coma, and probable death. The entire sequence of symptoms is not always seen. The dog may simply appear to be depressed or he may be weak, wobbly and jerky or he may be found stiff, unable to coordinate or in a coma.

Hypoglycemia can occur without warning when a puppy is placed in a new home. It might appear after a puppy misses a meal, chills, becomes exhausted from too much playing, or has a digestive problem. These problems cause an added stress on the energy reserves of the liver and bring on the symptoms.

The entire sequence of symptoms is not always seen. The dog may simply appear to be depressed or he may be weak, wobbly and jerky or he may be found stiff, unable to coordinate or in a coma.

Beginning at once! Treatment is directed at restoring blood levels of glucose. Give the puppy some NUTRI-CAL off the tip of your finger. If he is not swallowing place it under the tongue to be absorbed so it will begin to bring him back to a conscious state so that he will be able to swallow the rest. When he can swallow, give him a mixture of karo syrup water (about 1 cc at a time so he does not choke). Continue to give him Nutri-Cal and water about every 10 min. Until he is conscious and moving about. CALL YOUR VET IMMEDIATELY IF THE PUPPY DOES NOT RESPOND!!!. He may also need some antibiotics to combat secondary infections that can arise from the lowered immune system that results from the hypoglycemia.

If you do not have Nutri-Cal, honey or syrup can be used until you can get some Nutri-Cal. The dose is 1 cc every 10 min till recovered. A soon as the puppy begins to recover, give him some canned food (we recommend Science Diet A/D canned) and try to get him to eat. You will also need to begin some pepto or biosyl to help him from getting diarrhea. The large does of Nutri-Cal or syrup will probably cause some diarrhea to occur, but it is usually self limiting.

Prevent re-occurring attacks by making sure the puppy eats at regular intervals. He should have dry food and fresh water available at all times and should be fed canned food mixed with a little water and hard food at least 2 times a day. A daily vitamin should be given, (Nutri-Cal 1 cc 2 or 3 time a day) also cottage cheese or yogurt can be added to the diet.

Owners of puppies should not allow them to become overtired or chilled. Play time should be limited and controlled to prevent undue stress and tiring. Hypoglycemia must be offset by frequent feedings. A puppy, who does not eat frequently, for whatever reason, is heading for trouble. It is important that they eat so find something they like and feed it to them – McDonald’s hamburger, cooked chicken etc.

Also Don't let him eat wood..get him proper chew toys and make sure that you read the label a lot of Chew toys are not for Puppies..Due to the fact that they can get impacted.

Don't worry about the peeing.. Puppies pee all the time..unlike the adults they haven't mastered the art of holding it for one big pee..they feel it and just want to go..don't worry he/she will grow out of it..

Good Luck

Answer 8

I had a puppy who didn't eat, was being very lethargic (inactive, seeming tired alot) and throwing up and it was Parvo. Parvo is really dangerous and can kill a puppy. Even if your puppy is vaccinated for Parvo, he can still catch it. The shots are a big boost against it, but not 100% in certain situations for puppies.

Definitely go to the vet ASAP as if it is Parvo, the longer you wait the worse it gets.

Answer 9

Vet now!!!

They will dehydrate from vomiting and can die.

Too many days off his food combined with vomiting means head to the vet

that frequent urination can be a urinary infection

Answer 10
