this morning he threw up. this afternoon when my kids play with him he is active, otherwise he sleeps, and not necessarily in his crate as he always does, but sometimes wherever in the room where he sleeps. i have had him for almost 2weeks now. could he be sick or just tired? what should i look out for?

I breed English Bulldogs. You probably don't have anything to worry about. Bulldogs have respiratory problems and if they get exerted, they throw up. It is very hard for them to breath while they are being active. Also, they sleep all the time and anywhere they want. You should give your vet a call and let him know what is going on. He might want to see him just because he is so young.
Good Luck!!!

Is he on worming meds or any meds? sometimes that can upset the puppy's stomach. Or if he ate grass or a houseplant. I have am American Bulldog. Bully breeds are notorious for having touchy stomachs and they will eat anything. My bulldog can eat a poinsettia and will be fine, but if she gets a hold on some fat from meat I've cooked - she will vomit. Which brings me to the question - got poinsettias around? They are not poisonous (it is a urban legend), but they can cause most dogs to get sick. As long as the puppy is active when he is awake - my guess is that he is fine. Just check to see if you can see what made him throw up. If it continues and the puppy get lethargic (won't play no matter how much you coax it) - then call the vet. Just remember - puppies are just a 4 legged kid.

I own a English Bulldog. They have very short energy spans. They play really hard for 10-30 minutes and then crash out hard. It's the breed. I wouldn't be worried. And the throwing-up. My dog is 2 and still throws-up. We've taken him to the Vet and asked questions and the only answer we've can up with is When they sleep because of their pushed up noses and having a hard time breathing as it is. And when they sleep they snore. I think they just almost loose their breath and which causes them to get sick. Sid's 2 years old and he's very healthy. But he does snore really loud and some times when he gets super excited he will loose his breath and throw up. I guess that's just what happens to Bulldog's. I hope that helped you a little bit. I know the breed is so strange but super cute and great pets.

Well it could be allot of things, perhaps he in jested something his tummy isn't use to, or the kids over did it with him. He is still a baby and just like your babies needs his rest. Try to be with the kids when they play with him , just to make sure until he is a little bigger that they are not being to rough with him.

If he hasn't had his shots yet, take him in soon. If so, give it a few days to see what happens. Puppies are unpredictable, it could be just a little bug, he is just being a puppy, or something a little more serious.
