My boston terrier is not keeping any fluids down and won't eat. I have given him pedialyte but so far no results. He throws up everything even water, it looks clear with a white foam. Kinda gross but I really need someone's help. any home remedie suggestions?

Why are you trying to treat your dog at home ? Criminy, get him to a vet before he dies of dehydration.

I have a Boston Terrier, too. When he gets like that, I give him half of a zantac. I'm serious. It settles his tummy in about an hour. If your dog has had this for 2 or more days, then you HAVE to take him to the vet so they can rehydrate him. Remember, it doesn't take long for a little dog to get dehydrated.

He probably just has an upset stomach. Let him get some grass outside and eat it. If it is winter where you are at and no grass to be had, get a small bowl, put some milk in it and then add about 3 tablespoons of pepto bismol to it. Stir it up and serve your baby. Otherwise, if it does not work, there could be something more seriously wrong and a vet needs to be consulted.

Aside from going to the vet-which you need to do...stick to the pedialyte...vomitting can result in severe dehydration, lead to low blood volume and hypovolemic shock...if severe vomitting go to the vet. If you can pinch the back of your dogs neck and it takes awhile for the skin to return to position, that's a sure sign of dehydration. Water isn't going to work, loss of electrolytes need to be replaced...pedialyte is good..

Poor thing - he could have a blockage in his intestines, or any one of a dozen other things wrong - get him to the vet before it's too late!

A vet might be a good plan if you intend the dog to survive.
